Market Elevator

Features:

The Market Elevator was inaugurated in 2001 and connects Rua Olímpio Nicolau Rui Fernandes (next to the D. Pedro V Municipal Market) to Rua Padre António Vieira, in a mixed route consisting of a vertical elevator in the first 20m and by a sloping lift to the top, at 51m. It is a fundamental structure for the displacement of people between the Lower Coimbra and Alta, due to its strategic location.
