The Amazing Eiffel Tower

Have you ever been to Paris and seen the Eiffel Tower you own eyes?

As you know the Eiffel Tower is located in Paris (the city of love) ,FRANCE. 

Did you know that the Eiffel Tower was built as an archway entrance to the World exposition held in 1889 and it was designed by Alexander Gustave Eiffel 

He was a French structural engineer from the École Centrale Paris

 It is an interesting fact to know that his creation was named after him. EIFFEL tower

But, guess what!? To be the best landmark in Paris, Gustave the Eiffel tower took 2 years, 2 months and 5 days to actually give the Eiffel tower its strength and to actually build it.

Also, since the Eiffel tower was built in 1889, which makes it 123 years old .The tower is still standing in perfect shape.

However, The Eiffel Tower which swings in air is purely made of steel. In fact, Gustave Eiffel built it with steel to prove the fact that steel can be as strong as stones. The tower was built using 9,441 tons of steel, made at a factory owned by Dupont and Fould. 

The tower weighs 10,100 tons, 7,300 ton is pure metal,

But, if you think that the Effel Tower's materials only costed 1,000 plus

Well, your wrong.. Because, it costed the Eiffel Tower about $1.5 million. 

Which is a huge amount.

Also, most people in Paris mostly ride a Skyline near the Tower to see it light up at night..

They can see it properly, because the height was 312m earlier without the antennas. And as the antennas were added for radio transmission, the height of the Eiffel Tower increased to 324m

So thats why I love Paris and the Effel Tower.

I hoped you enjoyed this information.
