Eiffel Tower

Eiffel Tower
About

The Eiffel Tower, an iconic wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, was designed by Gustave Eiffel's company for the 1889 World's Fair. Initially criticized by some artists, it quickly became a symbol of French ingenuity and now stands as a global icon. It was the world's tallest structure until 1930, reaching 330 meters with its antenna. The tower has three levels with restaurants and observation decks, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Paris. Interestingly, the tower's height can vary by a few inches depending on the temperature due to the expansion and contraction of the metal. It's also repainted every seven years to protect it from the elements, a process done entirely by hand.
