Who does not recognize its unique shape it? The Eiffel Tower is
a wrought-iron tower in Paris, France. It is a landmark and an
example of iron construction on a gigantic scale. It was
designed and built by the French civil engineer Gustave
Alexandre Eiffel for the Paris World's Fair of 1889. The tower,
without its modern broadcasting antennae, is 300 m (984 ft)
high. The lower section consists of four immense arched legs set
on masonry piers. The legs curve inward until they unite in a
single tapered tower. There are Platforms at three levels, each
with an observation deck: on the first is also a restaurant. The
tower, constructed of about 6300 metric tons (about 7000 tons)
of iron, has stairs and elevators. A meteorological station, a
radio communications station, and a television transmission
antenna, as well as a suite of rooms that are located near the
top of the tower.
