The famous structure located in Paris, France, is the Eiffel Tower. Designed by the engineer Gustave Eiffel, this iconic wrought-iron lattice tower was completed in 1889 for the Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. Standing at approximately 1,083 feet (330 meters), it was the tallest man-made structure in the world until the completion of the Chrysler Building in New York City in 1930. The Eiffel Tower has become a global symbol of France and attracts millions of visitors each year, offering breathtaking views of Paris from its observation decks.
