Vila Velha (pronounced as /pt/;) is a Brazilian municipality located in the state of Espírito Santo. It lies across from Vitória, the state capital. Its population was 467,722 (2022) and its area is 210.23 km2.
Vila Velha forms part of the Greater Vitória metropolitan area. To the north is Vitória, to the west Cariacica and Viana, to the south Guarapari, and to the east the Atlantic Ocean.The Deputy Darcy Castelo de Mendonça Bridge, known as Third Bridge (Portuguese: Terceira Ponte), is the second tallest bridge in Brazil, connecting and reducing the distance between the cities of Vila Velha and Vitória.
The Jacarenema Ecological Reserve, a conservation area established in 1997, lies along the coast to the south of the main city and contains the mangrove estuary of the Jucu River.The Morro do Penedo Natural Monument protects a granite rock mass about high on the coast of Vitória Bay.
Notable corporations in Vila Velha include Garoto, one of Brazil's largest chocolate manufacturers.
Vila Velha has been through several years of intense real estate development and several luxury buildings are now a common sight in all of its main beaches. Some critics argue that this practice can be considered excess urbanization of a previously low-profile area, despite the economic benefits.
