Review:
When the Lacerda Elevator opened in 1873, it held many world records, including one for being the highest elevator in the world at 63 meters and for being the world’s first urban elevator. Constructed by Brazilian engineer Augusto Frederico de Lacerda, the historic art deco elevator transports people from Cairu Square in the Lower City to Tome de Sousa Square in the Upper City. The elevator is considered one of the most popular attractions in Brazil and attracts visitors from all over the world. At the top of the towers, you can see an amazing view of the surrounding areas, including the Mercado Modelo, the Bay of All Saints, and the Fort of Sao Marcelo.
