The Bica Funicular (Elevador da Bica or Ascensor da Bica)
is a funicular in Lisbon, Portugal, that forms the connection between the
Calçada do Combro/Rua do Loreto and the Rua de S. Paulo.
The Bica funicular was opened on 28 June, 1892. It climbs
the Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo for 245 metres (804 ft) from the Rua S. Paulo.
The lower station of this funicular railroad is almost hidden behind a facade
on the Rua de S. Paulo with the inscription "Ascensor da Bica". It
was opened to the public in 1892. In
2002 it was designated a National Monument.
