    Text Description

    The Eiffel Tower

    The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower located on the


    Champ de Mars in Paris. Built in 1889, it has become both a
    global icon of France and one of the most recognizable
    structures in the world. The tower is the tallest building in
    Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world;
    millions of people ascend it every year.

    Named for its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the


    tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's
    Fair.The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the
    same height as an 81-story building. Upon its completion, it
    surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of
    tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41
    years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in
    1930; however, due to the addition in 1957 of the antenna,
    the tower is now taller than the Chrysler Building. Not
    including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure
    in France after the 2004 Millau Viaduct.
    The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be
    purchased to ascend, by stairs or lift, to the first and second
    levels. The walk to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the
    walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest
    level is accessible only by elevator. Both the first and second
    levels feature restaurants.

    The tower has become the most prominent symbol of


    both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films
    set in the city.
