We will continue advancing until we reach places that have become iconic for Lisbon residents and visitors, such as the Elevador de Santa Justa, whose height stands out from its surroundings and gives it unbeatable views, or the Convento do Carmo, a living witness of the consequences that left in the city by the Great Earthquake of 1755 and which currently serves as an archaeological museum.
