 History.
The Eiffel Tower (tour Eiffel, in French), initially named a 300-meter tour (300-meter tower), is a puddle-shaped
iron structure designed by engineers Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier, endowed with a definitive look by the
architect Stephen Sauvestre and built by the French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel and his collaborators for
the Universal Exhibition of 1889 in Paris. Located at the end of the Champ de Mars on the banks of the River
Seine, this Parisian monument, symbol of France and its capital, is the tallest structure in the city and the
monument that receives the most visited entrance in the world, with 7.1 millions of tourists each year. With a
height of 300 meters, extended later with an antenna to 324 meters, the Eiffel Tower
the tallest structure in the world for 41 years. It was built in two years, two months and five days, and at the
time generated some controversy among the artists of the time, who saw it as an iron monster. After finishing
its function as part of the Universal Exhibitions of 1889 and 1900, it was used in tests of the French army with
communication antennas, and nowadays it serves, in addition to tourist attraction, as a broadcaster of radio
and television programs.
