In 1551 in search for a place more safe, the Portuguese moved the administration from Vila Velha, the former capital of Espírito Santo to the island near the mainland and called it Vila Nova do Espírito Santo and later renamed it Vitória. Today the city has a population of about 350,000 people, more than 1.6 million people live in the Greater Vitória metropolitan area.

Vitória lies in a tropical zone influenced by an oceanic climate
with only some rain from October until January. This is also the warmest season, the annual average temperature is around 27° C.
