Eiffel Tower - The Eiffel Tower was constructed by French engineer Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Universal Exhibition in Paris. This remarkable engineering achievement was completed in just over two years. Standing at 324 meters tall, the metal structure weighs 7,300 tonnes. Initially, Parisians were shocked by its metallic appearance and height. It was originally intended to last 20 years. In 1903, a radio antenna was added to the top, which saved the tower from demolition. Today, it is the iconic symbol of Paris.
