Elevador do Bom Jesus do Monte

The initiative to build the Bom Jesus do Monte Elevator in Braga, by Nikolaus Riggenbach and Raul Mesnier, is due to the 19th century Braga entrepreneur Manuel Joaquim Gomes (1840-1894), whose works if completed in 1882, the year of its inauguration. Thus, it constitutes the first funicular built in the Iberian Peninsula.

Description

The Bom Jesus Elevator is a funicular lift based on an inclined plane, and consists of two cabins that move on rails connected by a cable.
