The Eiffel tower history represents a part of national heritage. It’s as been thesymbol of France and Paris for decades. But when Gustave Eiffel achived its construction in 1889, the tower was only meant to be temporary in the Parisian landscape and was far from being the parisians’ favourite landmark.The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world.
