Elevator Santa Justa

Santa Justa Elevator, Santa Justa Elevator, Santa Justa Elevator
Portugal, Lisbon
The Santa Justa elevator is located in the heart of Lisbon and links the lower Rua do Ouro with Largo do Carmo above. The official opening of Santa Justa took place in 1902, and in the year of the centenary of the lift in 2002, the Santa Justa lift was recognized as a monument of national importance. The Neo-Gothic metal lacy elevator tower was designed by Raoul Mesnière du Ponsard. The elevator cabins made of wood and brass, with mirror inserts, have retained their original appearance. Each of the two cabins has 10 seats and 19 standing places. The height of the tower is 45 meters, the elevator rises to the first observation deck at a height of 30 meters, from where you can go to Largo do Carmo Square via the bridge. A spiral staircase leads to the upper platform, where the cafe is located. This platform offers a panorama of the Baixa area, overlooking Rossio Square, St. George's Castle, the Sei Cathedral and the Tagus River.

Walking along the main street of Augusto, you will definitely see a high openwork structure - the famous Santa Justa lift. Its design reminds us of the work of the famous French engineer Gustave Eiffel - and this is no accident, because this elevator tower was designed by his student Raoul du Ponsard. The Santa Justa lift rises to a height of 45 meters and is made of wrought iron. There are two spacious old elevator car, alternately raising and lowering passengers. The lift connects the lower Baishu area with the upper Shiadu and takes you to the observation deck and the ruins of Karma Church.
