One of my favourite pieces of Lisbon, Elevador de Santa Justa. What's not at all clear from this is that there's a walkway extending from the back of the top to a very large hill (also hiding behind the buildings). So this does serve a purpose. And if it reminds you in any way of the Eiffel Tower, that would be because the designer of Elevador de Santa Justa, Raul Mesnier de Ponsand, was an apprentice of Eiffel's.
