The Elevador da Bica is a funicular that connects Rua de São Paulo with Rua de Loreto in the city of Lisbon, built in 1892 by the Portuguese engineer Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard. The Elevador da Bica is owned by the Companhia de Carris de Ferro de Lisboa and together with the other elevadors (da Glória, do Lavra and de Santa Justa), it still constitutes one of the main tourist attractions of the Lusitanian capital.
