Summary

Description

Nightime view toward the Castle of Saint George from the top of the Santa Justa Lift (Elevador de Santa Justa in Portuguese), also called Carmo Lift (Elevador do Carmo) in downtown Lisbon, Portugal. The elevator was designed and constructed at the turn of the 20th Century by the Portugal-born, French architect Raoul de Mesnier du Ponsard (an apprentice of Gustave Eiffel) to connect downtown to Bairro Alto (the lowest and highest points of the city). The elevator was originally powered by steam and was converted to electricity in 1907. The elevator is 45 meters (150 feet) tall and has a lookout on the top offering panoramic views of the city. There are two elevator cabins, each with a capacity of 29 people.
