Imagine that you’re in Paris, and you’re walking by the Eiffel Tower. Then, you ask yourself who created the Eiffel Tower, why was it made, and exactly where was it built?

Now, believe it or not, the Eiffel Tower was built, and designed by an engineer named Gustave Eiffel. This structure was named after him because of how much time he put into building this masterpiece. This masterpiece took two-years, two-months and four-days to build, which is actually a remarkably short time period.   

The Eiffel Tower was built in 1887 and was finished in 1889. It was created for the 1889 Paris Exposition. It was also constructed to commemorate the centennial  of the French Revolution and to demonstrate France’s industrial prowess to the world. This structure was almost demolished but soon people realized that it’s antenna could be used as a military source.

Now you’re probably wondering, “Why is the Eiffel Tower so important?” Well, the Eiffel Tower is a symbolism of love and is where relationships happen.
