Eiffel Tower Under Construction year 1888
Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel) is the symbol of Paris, one of the most visited tourist attractions and the best known tower in the world.
The Eiffel Tower is 300 meters (984 ft) tall and was designed by Gustave
Eiffel for the Universal Exibition of 1889 and stirred great
controversy among the Paris citizens. After its opening the
intellectuals of Paris gathered to protest against the grotesque Eiffel
Tower.
The Eiffel Tower was the tallest building in the world until 1931 when the Empire State building in New York was built. Gustave Eiffel also constructed the framework of the Statue of Liberty in New York City.
The Eiffel Tower is made of iron and has three observation levels, all
accessible by elevators. The first level is at 57 meters (187 ft) and
has a post office. The second level features a restaurant and is at 115
meters (376 ft) and the third level is at 276 meters (905 ft) and has
observation deck that can hold 800 people. During the summer it gets
very crowded and the wait can be as much as an hour per level.
