It was another case of mistaken identity.

It was another case of mistaken identity.
We earlier mistook Igreja
da Magdalena
for the Lisbon Se or Lisbon Cathedral,
…we had the ancient Elevador de Sta Justa in mind
when we got off the Tram 28- but we ended up at the
more recent Alfama’s Elevador de Sta Luzia instead.

The
Elevador de Santa Luzia is a funicular at
the Monte de Santa Luzia in Viana do
Castelo,
that connects it to
the Sanctuary of Santa Luzia.
located at to top of the hill of the same name.
Right above it is the Miraduro de Santa Luzia,
…a lovely view deck that provides
an awesome view of the city downhill.
It could be also accessed by a modern elevator,
…and a tall winding staircase.
Across the
Miraduro de Santa Luzia
is the
ancient Viana do Costelo,
...that serves as a rustic scenic shortcut,
…to the Costelo de Sao Jorge,
...Lisbon’s main uphill attraction.
