“Sofia” is a 3D street art sculpture. It adds a contemporary twist to an area of Lisbon known only for its historic lift and traditional architecture.

For anyone interested in street art, this piece is a reminder that Lisbon’s creative scene is present even in the most touristic corners. It is easy to walk past the Elevador, focus only on the view, and forget to look sideways and upwards, where works like “Sofia” quietly change how the city looks and feels.
