Description
The Eiffel Tower, constructed for the 1889 World Exposition held in Paris, is considered an architectural wonder and attracts more visitors than any other paid tourist attraction in the world. Taking more than 2 years to complete, it stood as the world's tallest manmade structure until 1930 when it was surpassed by New York's Chrysler Building. At the time, it was the subject of criticism by the French artistic community, but has withstood two world wars, strong wind gusts and minor movement due to atmospheric conditions to become one of the most recognizable monuments in the world.
