In the late 19th century in Lisbon, there was a problem with the movement of people from one quarter to another. The first option proposed military engineer Roberto Armenia in 1876 and built the first inclined transport on a horse pull, and then from 1882 to the mechanical, on metal rails. Now it is a Lisbon tram.
The second option offered to a young architect Raoul du Ponsard Messne in 1896. It was a vertical lift, which connected the Rua do Ouro to Largo do Carmo. Raul was more artist than an engineer and builder in his creation invested Gothic Revival style. Since Raul was a disciple of Eiffel, the metal structure of its structure visible notes of Gustav, but the design of the elevator Ponsard borrowed classmate Eiffel engineer Edu. But first, for the movement of the elevator, he used a steam engine with steam furnace, which was later replaced by an electric motor. Lift construction began in 1898, and August 31, 1901 King Carlos opens the metal bridge with a tent and a seven-story 45-foot tower with two spiral staircases. A year later, the tower was launched two elevators with a capacity of 24 people each. Booths feature decorative wood, mirrors and brass parts and windows, for review during the ascent and descent. Construction of the mine consists of dozens of cross beams, which form a double lattice.
