Salvador is uniquely divided into a lower city (cidade baixa) and an upper city (cidade alta), which are connected by several graded winding roads, a funicular railway, and multiple elevators.1

The primary connection between these two sections is the Lacerda elevator, a prominent landmark that transports passengers 234 feet (71 metres) between the separate street levels.1
