Gloria Elevator history
Opened on October 24, 1885, it was called the Glória Elevator or Ascensor. It connects Restauradores Square and Bairro Alto (São Pedro de Alcântara Viewpoint) via Calçada da Glória.
It operated with a water counterweight as a traction system, later with steam. In 1915, the second elevator installed in the city of the 7 hills was electrified.
The cars used were double-decker, with benches arranged longitudinally. Currently, the two cabins have only one floor, but retain their longitudinal benches.
