Eiffel Tower Paris Landmark Gustave

Named after its designer, Gustave Eiffel, the tower is a premier tourist destination, with over 5.5 million visitors per year.


The structure was built from 1887 to 1889 as the entrance arch for the Exposition Universelle (1889), a World's fair marking the centennial celebration of the French revolution. It was inaugurated on March 31, 1889, and opened on May 6. 300 workers joined together 18,038 pieces of puddled iron, using two and a half million rivets.

The tower is 300 metres (986 feet) tall, not including the 20-meter television antenna on top, and weighs over 10,000 tons (over 21,000,000 pounds).

It was the tallest structure in the world for forty years. The summit is reached by 1,792 steps - the same as the year of the First French Republic.

Maintenance on the tower includes 50 tons of three graded tones of paint every 7 years within also the color is changed, actually the color of the tower is brown and on the first floor there are interactive consoles hosting a poll for the color to choose in the future session of painting.

The tower met with resistance from the public when it was first built, many thought it would be an eyesore. Today it is widely considered to be one of the most striking pieces of architectural art in the world.

One of the great Hollywood movie clichés is that the view from a Parisian window always includes the Eiffel Tower.Originally, Eiffel had a permit to leave the tower standing for 20 years, more than recouping his expenses, but as it proved valuable for communication purposes, it was allowed to stay after the end of the permit.

In the 1980s an old restaurant and its supporting iron scaffolding midway up the tower was dismantled; this was purchased and reconstructed in New Orleans, Louisiana, originally as the Tour Eiffel Restaurant, more recently known as the Red Room.
