Sant'Anna funicular

The Sant'Anna funicular (Italian: Funicolare Sant'Anna) is a funicular railway in the Italian city of Genoa connecting the Piazza Portello, on the edge of the historic city centre, to the Corso Magenta.

The funicular was opened in 1891, and was initially water-driven, with water filling a ballast tank under the carriage at the top station, and emptying at the bottom.

The line was converted to electric operation in 1980, and was again modernized in 1991 following a fire that destroyed the top station.
