Eiffel Tower In Paris

This Parisian famous stucture named after its architecture, Gustave Eiffel, is among the most acknowledged constructions all over the world and is the highest construction in Paris with more than 200,000,000 visits since it was finished, this memorial is the most-visited-paid monument annually.

Built from 1887 to 1889, consisting of the 24m antenna, the height of Eiffel Tower is 324m and the weight is 7,300 tons, making it become the highest construction of the world till 1930 when New York City's Chrysler Building beat it.

The tower can swing 6-7cm in the wind and because of the hot enlargement of the iron on the side fronting the sun, depending on the ambient temperature, the peak of the tower could move away from the sun by more than 18cm.

The Eiffel Tower is repainted each 7 years and it takes about 6 paint tons to finish it, only to prevent the tower from corroding.

The Tower has 3 levels.  There is a ticket office at the south towers place selling tickets to use the stairs, which start at that position, the first and the second floors are approachable by both stairs also elevators. But the 3rd level peak is just approachable by elevator.  On the 1st platform, from the east tower the stairs keep on up.  

Going by steps isn’t for weak hearted, because the real count of stairway has 9 steps to the ticket office at the Eiffel Tower ground, 328 steps to the first level, 340 steps to the second level, and 18 steps to the elevator platform on the second level.  And when getting out the elevator at the 3rd floor, there are different 15 more steps to go up to the higher watching platform.  The real step count is written sporadically on the side of the stairs to provide you an indicant of your work.  But some of the time, it does permit you an unhampered view of the area straight below and around the tower bar some brief times when the stairway is enclosed.

The Eiffel Tower was to be destroyed in 20 years after building.  It was because of the fact that Gustave Eiffel was just given an allowance for the Eiffel Tower to exist for 20 years before the city is going to destroy it, however as it became worthful as a communicatings resource, it was permitted to stay in place even after the allowance had been invalid.
