A rare vertical elevador. There was a long queue when I visited and we had limited time before our flight, but it was a brilliant thing to do and totally worth the wait. There’s not much to see on the way up in the elevador as it’s enclosed, but once you’re at the top there are good views all around. The lift takes you up a steep hill to the level of Convento do Carmo.
The Elevador de Santa Justa (Santa Justa Lift) is a beautifully crafted elevator that transports passengers from the Baixa district up to the ruins of the Igreja do Carmo church. The Elevador de Santa Justa is an industrial-age marvel, with the outer ironwork structure forming glorious neo-gothic arches, while inside two sumptuous polished wood carriages whisk passengers up in style.The Elevador de Santa Justa is one of Lisbon’s most unique tourist attractions, and from the top viewing platform there are great views over central Lisbon.
Very powerful church. Europe is not for lacking the beautiful and overpowering churches. The interior of this church presents a stark contrast with the rest of the luxuriously adorned churches which granted it an unique and powerful place in history. Igreja de Sao Domingos was first constructed in the 13th century, and after having survived multiple earthquakes and restorations, it was again devastated by fire in the 20th century which took the lives of a few and took much of the interior with it. As a result, the interior of the church is left with the remnants marks of injury from the many disasters, and yet it is still standing strong. It almost felt as if I was making a trip back in time and experiencing the ache of the structure while standing in the middle of it.
Amazing view of Lisbon! For 5€ the elevator brings you up to the top of a tower and gives you the access to one of the best panorama of the city.
