The company Carris announced that it will present a solution for the future of the Glória elevator, one of Lisbon's iconic funiculars. The proposal aims to preserve the identity of the elevator and its historical relationship with Calçada da Glória and the city of Lisbon.

The announcement will be made today, coinciding with the end of the deadline for the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). These deadlines are relevant for the implementation of projects aimed at modernization and conservation of heritage.

The Glória elevator is an important part of Lisbon's historical heritage, transporting passengers along a steep incline since the late 19th century. In addition to its practical function, the elevator is a cultural landmark that attracts both residents and tourists.

The proposal from Carris aligns with an ongoing effort to maintain the functionality of the elevator while ensuring that its identity and essence are preserved for future generations.
