Inaugurated on April 18, 1884, the Lavra Funicular connects Largo da Anunciada and Rua Câmara Pestana via Calçada do Lavra.
Up there, it leaves you just steps away from the Campo de Santana Garden and the Torel Garden.
It also began by using a water counterweight, then switched to steam power, and finally to electricity.
And like the other funiculars and elevators of the time, it bears the signature of Raoul Mesnier de Ponsard.
