   Santa Justa Lift

   One of the city's best-loved landmarks and also known as the "Elevator of Carmo," this extraordinary structure was built in 1902 by the Portugal-born French architect Raoul de Mesnier du Ponsard (an apprentice of Gustave Eiffel, explaining the structure's similarities to Paris' Eiffel Tower), to connect downtown to Bairro Alto (the lowest and highest points of the city). Originally powered by steam, it's 45 meters (147ft) high, and remains an interesting example of post-Eiffel iron architecture. The top of the Neo-Gothic tower, reached via a spiral staircase, has a splendid view of the city, including over Rossio Square, the castle and the river.

   Praça da Figueira

   Praça da Figueira is a square in Lisbon Downtown. Prior to the 1755 earthquake, it was the site of the All-Saints Hospital, whose foundations were laid bare during the construction of the current underground car park. In the design of the Marquis of Pombal to Downtown, the square became the main food market of the city. In 1885 a covered market was built there, demolished in the 1950s. Today, the four-story buildings are occupied by hotels, shops and cafes and the square is no longer a market. One of the interesting features is the bronze equestrian statue of D. João I erected in 1971, by Leopoldo de Almeida. The square is served by the Rossio metro station on the Green Line, as well as several public bus and tram lines.

    The Rossio Train Station is the primary train station in Lisbon. This railway station is important for visitors, as it connects Lisbon to the popular town of Sintra and passes the two stations that serve the Palácio Nacional de Queluz.

    The Rossio Train Station is not only an important station, but also a magnificent building, and a tourist attraction in its own right. The wonderfully ornate exterior of Rossio train station was inspired by classical 16th-century Portuguese Manueline architecture, and passengers enter via two horseshoe-shaped archways, while turrets and pinacols line the roof.

    The Chapel of Our Lady of Health is located in the Mouraria neighborhood.

    Built in 1505 by initiative of the artillerymen of the Lisbon garrison, it was dedicated to St. Sebastian, its patron and protector of evils such as war, famine and especially the plague, which had raged in the city and caused hundreds of victims. In 1569, it was dedicated to Our Lady of Health and in 1662 welcomed her image, and became known by that name. It underwent works after being damaged by the earthquake of 1755. However, the portal attributed to João Antunes dates from the beginning of the 18th century. Every year, on the first Sunday of May, the procession of thanksgiving for the protection of the Virgin takes place, a tradition that has been repeated since the 16th century.

    The Lisbon Massacre, also known as 1506 Easter Slaughter, began on a Sunday Mass in April when believers were praying for the end of the drought, hunger and plague that ravaged Portugal at the time. One believer claimed to have had a vision of Christ, a miracle as interpreted by other Catholics. When a New Christian tried to explain the “miracle” as light reflection, the crowd wouldn’t want to listen. The New Christian was beaten to death. Thereafter, all Jews in the city were accused of heresy.

    It was also here that, some years later, those condemned by the Portuguese Inquisition were left waiting to be burned alive at Rossio. A monument mural, inaugurated in 2008, reads “Lisbon, City of Tolerance” in 34 languages recalling the terrible episode of 1506 and paying tribute to the Jewish victims.
