Fonte da Rampa do Mercado, Public monument at Praça Cairú in Salvador, Brazil
The Fonte da Rampa do Mercado features a combination of fiberglass and metal elements, spanning 16 meters in height and 12 meters in width.
The monument emerged in 1970 following a fire that destroyed the original Market Building, transforming an empty space between new roads and Market Ramp.
The fountain structure creates a visual counterpoint to the vertical mass of Lacerda Elevator while reflecting Salvador's connection to the sea.
Located near the Lacerda Elevator and Model Market, the monument stands within a protected 200-meter radius to maintain its historical preservation.
The fountain underwent complete reconstruction in 2024 after a devastating fire in December 2019 destroyed the original structure.
