The famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower, is located in Paris, France. Constructed between 1887 and 1889 for the Exposition Universelle (World's Fair), the tower was designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel. Standing at approximately 1,083 feet (330 meters) tall, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world for 41 years, until the completion of the Chrysler Building in New York City. The Eiffel Tower is an iconic symbol of Paris and attracts millions of visitors each year, who come to enjoy panoramic views of the city from its observation decks. The tower's iron lattice design also showcases innovative engineering techniques of the time.
