The Gloria Funicular, one of Lisbon's best-known tourist attractions, derailed and overturned on September 3, leaving 15 people dead and 18 others injured, local media reported.

This is not the first derailment involving the funicular. In 2018, a similar accident occurred, though no one was injured.

Built in the late 19th century, the Gloria Funicular connects Restauradores Square with the Principe Real district, with its bright yellow carriages running along steep slopes. It attracts large numbers of tourists every year.
