The Eiffel Tower was constructed between 1887 and 1889 by a French engineer named Gustave Eiffel. It was famous for producing metal frames and structures. Eiffel is the source of many metal structures in Europe, unlike viaducts in Porto (Portugal), Garabit viaduct (France), and Budapest railway station (Hungary).

Gustave Eiffel's company was located in Levallois Perret. It is very near Paris, France. It is also the metal framework for another world-famous monument: the Statue of Liberty (New York, United States). It was designed by Auguste Bartholdi and accepted as a gift by the US from France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence in the year 1886.

Why was the Eiffel Tower built?

The Eiffel Tower was first constructed as one of the main features of the Paris World Fair in 1889. That world's fair took place in Champ de Mars, Paris. Its main idea was the great iron and steel construction that developed under industrial development.

It became the 300-meter tower and was named Gustave Eiffel after its creator. The Tower opened to the background of the fair on May 15, 1889. It is the same date as the World's Fair.

Pre-construction polemics and discussions raged around the image of the tower in the art world. Its unparalleled architecture and design resulted in instant tourism allure, attracting 2 million visitors in its first year.

The Eiffel Tower shaped like the A letter

It was two engineers from Gustave Eiffel's company in 1884. It was decided to create a metal tower 300 meters high for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris. This professional engineer specializes in substantial metal structures like bridges, railway stations, etc. It naturally follows that the first schematic of the 300-meter-high tower was drawn up by Eiffel himself. It was a four-legged pylon. Each is built out of four diagonal beams, forming a cross that ends in a square. Every curve and the most significant viaducts of the Eiffel around the same time come to mind while watching this model.
