Elevador de Santa Justa, Lisbon.

The Santa Justa Elevator was comissioned in the late 1890’s and opened in 1901. It’s primary purpose was to connect the lower streets of Baixa to Carmo Square in the hills of Lisbon. Today it is the only vertical lift remaining in the city, as opposed to funiculars.
