The Eiffel tower (Tour Eiffel in French) was built in 1889 for the World Exposition, which was held in Paris for the centennial of the French Revolution. The architect and builder of the tower, Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923) is also famous as the architect who designed the iron backbone of the Statue of Liberty in New York City harbor.

The tower is over 300 m high. Another exciting fact about the Eiffel Tower is that it is the most visited building in the world. In 1998, it received 6 million visitors, far more than the Empire State Building (3.6 million), and the Tokyo Tower (3 million).
