- Elevador de Santa Justa
Santa Justa Elevator - This is sort of an icon of Lisbon. It was completed in 1902 and was originally steam powered. Though it may be reminiscent of something designed by Gustave Eiffel, it was actually designed by an apprentice of his, Raul Mesnier de Ponsard. It was basically built to 'get up the hill'. There's a walkway that extends back from the top of the elvator to the higher neighborhood behind. - Padroa dos Descobrimentos
Monument to the Discoveries - Originally built in 1940 and made of steel and concrete for the exhibit "The Portuguese World" it was intended to be temporary. In 1960 it was rebuilt using stone in time for the 500th anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator, the leading figure at the tip of the sculpture. - Padroa dos Descobrimentos
