“I ought to be jealous of the tower. She is more famous than I am.” – Gustave Eiffel
Date Built: 1887-1889
Designer/Architect: Gustave Eiffel
Location: Paris, France. Specifically located at Champ de Mars, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris, France.
Significance: The Eiffel Tower is one of the most recognizable structures in the world and a global symbol of France. It was originally built as the entrance arch for the 1889 World’s Fair (Exposition Universelle) held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
Dimensions: The Eiffel Tower stands approximately 324 meters (1,063 feet) tall, including its antennas. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world until the completion of the Chrysler Building in New York in 1930.
Historical Background: The Eiffel Tower was initially met with criticism from some of Paris’s leading artists and intellectuals for its design. Despite this, it became a beloved landmark and a marvel of modern engineering. It was intended to be dismantled after 20 years but was saved due to its usefulness as a giant radio antenna.
Fun Fact: The Eiffel Tower is repainted every seven years to protect it from rust. It requires about 60 tons of paint!
The tower is open every day, with varying hours depending on the season.
