The Eiffel Tower is an iconic structure and is the image most associated with the city of Paris. Such a large percentage of people who visit Paris have scaled the thousands of stairs to reach the summit and enjoy the views, and those who have not climbed it will have surely experienced the presence of the tower. However, surprisingly few people are actually aware of why the tower was built and the general history surrounding it.
Work on the Eiffel tower began in 1887 and was completed in 1889. It was initially built as an entrance arch to the World Fair which was held in Paris that year. It was intended that people would pass under the structure on their way to the fair as a memorable feature of the event. The World Fair itself was a celebration of 100 years passing since the French Revolution, so it wouldn’t be incorrect to say that the tower is a lasting legacy of the Revolution. It took the combined effort of 300 workers to complete the structure which, upon completion, was the tallest building in the world.
Ironically, considering the esteem in which the building is now held, the residents of Paris at the time of its construction were not fond of the tower as they considered it a huge eyesore. Over time however, the tower has grown in the affections of the locals and it is now one of the features of the city which most associate with home.
