The Eiffel Tower, designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel, was intended to serve as the central point and entry arch for the World's Fair that celebrated the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. It was established on March, 1889 and has been the most-recognized building in the world.

The Eiffel Tower in France is also known as La Tour Eiffel, or La dame de fer. This means "the iron lady". The tower measures 984 feet high (1,063 feet if the broadcast antennas are included at the top).

It was the highest man-made structure to be completed and passed the Washington Monument. This title was held until 1930 when the Chrysler Building in New York City was constructed.

The Eiffel Tower is Paris' tallest building. It is also the most visited monument in the entire world (no need to mention “paid”) . The Eiffel Tower has been visited by more than 200 million people since its opening, according to experts.

Three levels can be climbed to the Eiffel Tower. Both the stairway and elevator can access the lower levels. They both have restaurants. Only an elevator can take you to the top floor.

Hundreds of workers used over 1 million rivets to join pieces of iron together to build the Eiffel tower. Despite the tower's open-frame design making it risky, Eiffel insists on safety precautions and only one worker was killed during construction.

The Eiffel Tower wasn't a hit immediately with Parisians, believe it or not. Many thought it was an eyesore, and wanted it to go.

The tower was initially intended to be temporary as it was constructed for the 1889 World's Fair. After 20 years, the tower was to be demolished by Paris. It was however valuable as a radio communications tower so it was allowed to stay.

The Eiffel Tower, which is an architectural masterpiece , is still in use today. It has inspired more than 30 other towers. It is more than a tourist attraction. It also serves as a useful communication tool because it transmits both television and radio broadcast signals.

Elevators at the Eiffel Tower

Maybe those who visit the Eiffel tower are able to find the answer to the question "How high is it?" It is always advised to take an elevator rather than climbing a thousand steps. Even if you want to reach the second or third floor of it, an elevator is a smart choice.

● Five elevators take you from the ground floor to the second floor

● From the second floor, two sets of two elevators take you to the third floor.

Division used in the Eiffel Tower More than 2 million rivets were used to build the Eiffel Tower. 18,038 metal parts were used to make the beams and shore. The initial tower cost seven million gold francs. This does not include the additional labs or other accessories that were later added.

Cleaning the Eiffel Tower Imagine how much it would cost to clean this large structure. It takes about 10,000 doses, 4 tons of cleaning rags, dusters, 400 liters detergent, and 25,000 bags of trash to clean such a large structure. This is for internal cleaning. The Eiffel Tower's exterior is painted in French colors every few years. It takes approximately 18 months to complete the task and 60 tons of paint!

How do you run the Eiffel Tower?

It's not surprising that Paris spends a lot of money to keep the Eiffel Tower in operation.

● Two tons of paper are used every year to print tickets at the Eiffel Tower.

● The length of the electrical wire is 80 km (49 miles).

● The tower has 10,000 light bulbs during daylight and 20,000 for nighttime light shows.

● The tower consumes enough electricity each day to light approximately 100 homes.
