The Eiffel Tower, a global icon of France and a masterpiece of iron architecture, stands as a testament to 19th-century engineering innovation. Completed in 1889 for the Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) in Paris, the tower was designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel. Standing 324 meters tall, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world until the completion of the Chrysler Building in 1930. Constructed from wrought iron, the Eiffel Tower’s design showcases the potential of metal as a construction material, emphasizing both strength and lightness. The tower’s open lattice structure, composed of over 18,000 iron parts held together by 2.5 million rivets, allows it to withstand wind forces, an engineering marvel at the time. Initially criticized by some of Paris’s leading artists and intellectuals, the Eiffel Tower has become a beloved symbol of French art, culture, and history. It attracts millions of visitors annually, offering breathtaking views of Paris from its multiple observation decks. Illuminated by 20,000 light bulbs each evening, the Eiffel Tower remains a dazzling and enduring emblem of human creativity and technological progress.
