On 31 August 1901, King Carlos inaugurated the metal bridge and awning, in a ceremony that included members of the royal family, the members of the elevator company. Its initial operation was delayed: the operating car was only inaugurated in 1902. The operating concession was given to the company Lisbon Electric Tramway Ltd. in 1905.The hills of Lisbon have always presented a problem for travel between the lower streets of the main Baixa and the higher Largo do Carmo. In order to facilitate the movement between the two the lift was finally becoming a reality. Originally powered by steam, the lift was converted to electrical operation in 1907. Iconic single standing Elevator Lift in Santa Justa quarter of Lisbon, i didn't wait the required 1 hour queue to go up but will do next time i visit Lisbon. http://www.carris.pt/en/elevators/ Another cheerful place is Plaza of Commerce where street artists earn rather well having the wind blow soap bubbles for the passerby kids to play.
