📷 Eiffel Tower
Constructed from 1887 to 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair, the Eiffel Tower has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is 330 meters tall, about the same height as an 81-story building, and was the tallest man-made structure in the world until the completion of the Chrysler Building in New York in 1930. The Eiffel Tower is not only a symbol of Paris but also serves as an observation tower and a broadcast tower, merging practicality with artistry.
