    EIFEL TOWER
    The Eiffel Tower is a wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named
    after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.

    Locally nicknamed "La dame de fer" (French for "Iron Lady"), it was constructed from 1887 to 1889
    as the centerpiece of the 1889 World's Fair. Although initially criticised by some of France's leading
    artists and intellectuals for its design, it has since become a global cultural icon of France and one of
    the most recognisable structures in the world.[3] The Eiffel Tower is the most visited monument
    with an entrance fee in the world: 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015. It was designated a
    monument historique in 1964, and was named part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site ("Paris,
    Banks of the Seine") in 1991.[4]

    The tower is 330 metres (1,083 ft) tall,[5] about the same height as an 81-storey building, and the
    tallest structure in Paris. Its base is square, measuring 125 metres (410 ft) on each side. During its
    construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest human-
    made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York City
    was finished in 1930. It was the first structure in the world to surpass both the 200-metre and 300-
    metre mark in height. Due to the addition of a broadcasting aerial at the top of the tower in 1957, it
    is now taller than the Chrysler Building by 5.2 metres (17 ft). Excluding transmitters, the Eiffel
    Tower is the second tallest free-standing structure in France after the Millau Viaduct.
