Eiffel Tower, wrought-iron tower in
Paris, is a landmark and an early example of wrought-iron construction on
gigantic scale. It was designed and built by French civil engineer
Alexandra-Gustave Eiffel for the Paris World's Fair of 1889. The Tower without
its modern broadcasting antennas is 300 m 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.
Platforms, each with an
observation deck, are at three levels; on the first is also a restaurant. The
tower, constructed of about 6300 metric tons (about 700 tons) of iron has
stairs and elevators. A meteorological station, a radio communication station,
and a television station transmission antenna, as well as a suite of rooms that
were used by Eiffel, are located near the top of the tower.
