Abstract: The author explores the visual identity and architecture of the port city of Vitória, (Esprito Santo, Brazil) through the urban development of the city since its foundation in the 16th century until present. The book rediscovers "Capixaba" a term often used to refer to Vitória, an island surrounded by rivers and characteristic for its eclectic architecture that transformed into a larger city soon after the intense urbanization process of the 1960's, highlighting the importance of the relationship between the city's main empty spaces and its natural and cultural landscape.
