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.
