The noted structure in Paris that was built as a temporary exhibit for the World's Fair of 1889 is the Eiffel Tower. Designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was constructed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution and showcase France's industrial prowess. Originally met with mixed reactions from Parisians and artists, it became an iconic symbol of Paris and eventually, France itself. Standing at 300 meters, the Eiffel Tower was the tallest man-made structure in the world at the time and remains one of the most recognizable landmarks globally, attracting millions of visitors every year.
