Description
The Eiffel Tower is the most well known icon of Paris and the most visited tourist attraction in the world (around 7 million visitors per year). It was built for the World Fair in 1889 and it was originally planned to tear it down after the event.
The tower is 324 meters (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building and was the tallest man-made structure in the world for 41 years.
The tower has three levels for visitors. The top level's upper platform is 276 m (906 ft) above the ground. This is a fisheye photo from under the tower.
