The Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel), located on Champ de Mars in Paris, was originally designed and built by famous bridge engineer Gustave Eiffel in 1889 to commemorate 100th anniversary of French Revolution. The Eiffel Tower is an iron tower with a 300m high hollow structure, 24m antenna and a total height of 324m. It has held record for tallest building in world for 45 years and is secured and connected with 2.5 million rivets. A symbol of France along with Empire State The building in New York and Tokyo Tower is known as "Three Famous Buildings in West".
Like other modern buildings in Paris, design of Eiffel Tower has been questioned: many Parisians detest "ugly" steel monster and don't find it useful. However, when Eiffel Tower was completed and Eiffel designer personally raised French tricolor flag on top of tower, Parisians were completely moved.
According to original plan, Eiffel Tower was to be dismantled 10 years after World Exhibition in Paris. While people were debating whether tower should be demolished as planned, invention of radio saved tower. With advent of radio communication, Eiffel Tower, over 300 meters high, became best place for a radio transmission station, since then people no longer accuse Tower of being just a flashy decoration. Since then, Eiffel Tower has also been used for many purposes such as a meteorological observation station, aviation communication station, radio and television transmitting station, but in end, Eiffel Tower is still a tourist attraction, loved and loved by tourists from all over world. . Worldwide.
