My last visit in Lisboa in Portugal was the Santa Justa Lift which was built inn 1901. It is incredible to see, that we invented such useful things over 100 years ago. 

The Santa Justa Lift (Portuguese: Elevador de Santa Justa, pronounced: [elɨvɐˈdoɾ dɨ ˈsɐ̃tɐ ˈʒuʃtɐ]), also called Carmo Lift (Portuguese: Elevador do Carmo, [elɨvɐˈdoɾ du ˈkaɾmu]), is an elevator, or lift, in the civil parish of Santa Justa, in the historical city of Lisbon, Portugal. Situated at the end of Rua de Santa Justa, it connects the lower streets of the Baixa with the higher Largo do Carmo (Carmo Square). Since its construction, the Lift has become a tourist attraction for  Lisbon as, among the urban lifts in the city, Santa Justa is the only  remaining vertical (conventional) one. Others, including Elevador da Glória and Elevador da Bica, are actually funicular railways, and the other lift constructed around the same time, the Elevator of São Julião, has since been demolished.

Honestly I have been to higher buildings like Taipie 101 or Tokyo Skytree but it is impressive to know that this has been built over 100 years ago. It was used to connect the lower level streets with the higher level streets. These days mostly tourist use the elevator to shoot some nice pictures. 

It is very interesting and smart, that the city has this elevator still in use. It attracts many many tourists!

Have you used this elevator in Lisboa?
