Eiffel Tower

The tower was designed to be a spectacular architectural centerpiece for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, which was held in Paris from May 6 through October 31, 1889, and coincided with the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the French Revolution. Built over a period of two years, two months, and five days, the tower was a marvel of late-19th-century engineering and construction and was to represent the exposition's theme of "Utopia Achieved." Well in advance of the exposition, the French government held a design competition to select a monument to built on the city's Champ-de-Mars. From the more than 100 designs submitted, Eiffel's design for an open-lattice, wrought-iron tower was selected.
