What is it.....?

I do not know, I just found it to be strange.

Hmm, Google suggests it is Elevador de Santa Justa ... you will have to confirm this.

Definitely something to take a picture of.

That's it for sure! How did you figure out what to search for???

 

[dxqcanada]

I just did an Google image search of "weird building in Lisbon".

 

[tirediron]

Umbrella for the town square?

 

[DarkShadow]

It's indeed a lift that connects the upper and lower part of Lisbon, it is a tourist attraction(when working) and a National Monument of more than 100 years old.
Besides the elevator you have a stone staircase to go up/down, because this lift rarely works, we're in Lisbon in 1978 and 2008 and both times this lift did not work. I miss the experience of a ride, but I don't think Lisbon is interesting enough to go there again and with the risk that this lift still doesn't work.

It wasn't working when I was there in June.

We preferred Porto to Lisbon. It was very disappointing to see graffiti all over Lisbon.

The wife and I thought the same. Lisbon was way more crowded and dirtier. At least there are many places close to Lisbon that were very nice like Sintra and Cascais.
