The Eiffel Tower is a 330-meter-tall wrought-iron lattice tower in Paris, France. Designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel, it was built as the centerpiece for the 1889 World's Fair to celebrate the centennial of the French Revolution.
Key Facts
- Location: Champ de Mars, Paris.
- Height: 330 meters (including radio antennas).
- Construction: Made of 18,038 puddle iron parts held by 2.5 million rivets.
- Duration: Built in just over two years (1887–1889).
Historical Significance
Originally heavily criticized by French artists and intellectuals for its industrial look, the tower was intended to be dismantled after 20 years. However, its value as a radiotelegraph station saved it from destruction. Today, it serves as the ultimate global symbol of France and welcomes nearly 7 million visitors annually.
