TheEiffel Tower

Champ de Mars · 28 January 1887 – 31 March 1889

Designed by the engineers Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier with the architect Stephen Sauvestre, and built by Gustave Eiffel’s company for the World’s Fair of 1889, the tower was put together from 18,038 pieces of iron and some 2.5 million rivets in two years, two months and five days. While it was going up, a group of artists protested against this “useless and monstrous” tower. Its permit was for twenty years; it was saved in part because it proved useful as a radio antenna. It was the tallest structure in the world until 1930, and it still stands.
