Santa Justa Lift was constructed by Raul Mesnier de Ponsard, who studied under the famed iron craftsman Gustave Eiffel, designer of the iconic Eiffel Tower. After completing his studies with Eiffel, Mesnier de Ponsard returned to Lisbon and began his iron masterpiece. This Industrial Age gem is both beautiful and functional, featuring an iron structure, neo-Gothic arches, and luxurious wood carriages that take passengers from the Baixa District to the ruins of the Igreja do Carmo Church in style. This is one of Lisbon's most prominent tourist attractions due to its usability, affordability, and viewing platform at the top, which provides panoramic views of central Lisbon.
