The Eiffel Tower is located in France, specifically in its capital city, Paris. Constructed between 1887 and 1889 as the entrance arch for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) held to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, the Eiffel Tower stands as a symbol of France and a testament to engineering innovation. It was designed by Gustave Eiffel, and at 300 meters tall, it was once the tallest man-made structure in the world. Today, it attracts millions of tourists every year, offering stunning views of Paris from its observation decks.
