The Eiffel Tower is one of the most iconic structures in the whole world. Tens of thousands of people take photos of it every single day which makes it one of the most photographed buildings on the planet. It is a true architectural feat and stands over one thousand feet into the sky.
The tower is named after its creator Gustave Eiffel who was the main engineer for the design and construction. It is as tall as an eighty-story building and is the tallest building in all of Paris. Not many people know this but the first two levels have restaurants and other activities for visitors to enjoy while being at the tower. If you ever catch yourself in Paris, I would highly recommend visiting the tower.
It took over two years to complete and had its grand opening in the late 1800s. At first, many artists criticized the design and ridiculed the engineers because they felt that it was unappealing to the eye. However, since then it has become a major icon for all of France. It was constructed as a symbol of the hundredth year or the revolution of France and is now a global destination for millions of people each year.
