The Eiffel Tower, officially known as La tour Eiffel, stands tall on the historic Champ de Mars in Paris, France. This iconic iron lattice structure was crafted by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel and his team at Eiffel's company. Built as the grand entrance to the 1889 World’s Fair, it quickly gained attention from some of France's top artists and intellectuals, who criticized its design at first. However, the tower has since become a beloved symbol of French culture and one of the most easily recognizable landmarks worldwide. As the tallest structure in Paris and the world's most-visited paid monument, millions flock to see it each year; in 2011 alone, 6.98 million people ascended its heights. The Eiffel Tower has now welcomed over 250 million visitors since opening its gates to the public in 1889.
