    "The Lacerda Elevator began operations in 1873, and is considered the first urban elevator in the world. Built by engineer Antonio de Lacerda, it measures nearly 63 meters in height and connects the two levels of the city, separated by a steep embankment, known as the Upper and Lower Cities. With a steel structure imported from England and an efficient hydraulic system, it has been remodeled five times, such as the reform of 1930, when it received its current art déco style façade. With four cabins holding 32 passengers each, the trip takes an average of 22 seconds. Building listed by IPHAN"
