Elevador de Santa Justa, also called Elevador do Carmo, is an elevator, or lift, in Lisbon/Lisboa, Portugal.
Situated at the end of Rua de Santa Justa, it connects the lower streets of the Baixa with the higher Largo do Carmo (Carmo Square).
The elevator is a vertical structure, developed along the Rua de Santa Justa, consisting of a metal tower, observation platform, walkway and base. The lift is decorated in a Neo-Gothic style in iron.
With a height of 45 metres, covering seven stories, the tower includes two elevator cabins, decorated in wood, mirrors and windows, originally with a capacity for 24 passengers in each, and later updated to 29 people.
Since its construction, the lift has become a tourist attraction for Lisbon.
