Sant'Anna Funicular Railway, Funicular railway in Piazza Portello, Italy
The Sant'Anna funicular connects Piazza Portello at the edge of the historic center to Corso Magenta through a 357-meter track with two stations.
Inaugurated in 1891, the funicular initially operated using a water ballast system before transitioning to electric power in 1980 for improved transportation efficiency.
The funicular represents an essential part of Genoa's transportation network, serving as a connection point between different neighborhoods while preserving historical engineering methods.
The funicular system operates with two cars, each accommodating 30 passengers, traveling at 4 meters per second across a track with a maximum gradient of 17 percent.
Since December 2021, the Municipality of Genoa and AMT have made this transportation service completely free for all passengers using the funicular.
