Cable Trams: Elevador da Graça (1893–1909)

Lisboa, Calçada dos Cavaleiros

Unknown cable car at the lower terminus of Elevador da Graça. An electric tram is passing by along Rua da Palma, which means the photo is taken between 1901 and 1913.

In 2024 this location is the northern end of Praça Martim Moniz. The only thing visible in this photo, that still exists today is the building in the background (windows in upper right corner of photo) which is located at the corner of Rua José António Serrano and Rua de São Lázaro.

Cable Trams: Elevador da Graça (1893–1909)

Lisboa, Calçada do Graça

Unknown cable car is about pass through Arco de Santo André (built in 1373, demolished in 1913).
In 2024, the cable car would be turning from Calçada de Santo André and turning onto Calçada da Graça.
Tram route 12E follows the route of Elevador da Graça from Rua da Palma up to this point. When Carris took over this route (in 1913) the route along Calçada da Graça was abandoned and a new route was to São Tomé. Modern route would go to the right in this photo. The passage did not exist when the photo was taken, as it was created by demolishing Arco de Santo André.
