The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Constructed from 1887–89 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world.

So many things like the London Eye, or the Eiffel Tower were meant to be temporary. I'd be interested to see a list of so-called 'Temporary Structures'

Eiffel Tower in Paris was built with
steel from Resita & Govajdia, Romania. A few Romanian know, however, that this symbol of Paris (Eiffel Tower) was developed by a technology discovered in Romania, by Romanian engineer George Panculescu. This, after he graduated the courses of the Polytechnic of Zurich, came to work on the recommendation of the writer Vasile Alecsandri, in the “Eiffel” company. He returned home in 1878 to start the construction of the Bucharest – Predeal railway, during which he invented a system of joint railway sleepers system that would revolutionize metal construction. Thanks to the new method of mounting the rail on outside the railway sleepers, Panculescu finished building the track in less than 12 months – although the time allowed was five years. Gustave Eiffel, who knew Panculescu from Paris, heard of him and went to Valenii de Munte, in 1879, to discuss the new method. The Frenchman was impressed with the novel idea and suggested its application in his project of raising an unusual tower, tower what was to be presented at the Universal Exhibition in 1889. They talked about adapting the technique invented by Panculescu the construction of the tower using parts metal sections and assembled on the ground as it builds work. Together materialized this project that would become one of the symbols of the world. It is assumed that the two engineers were met also during the year 1882, when Gustave Eiffel touch up the last details of the sheer architectural jewels in Romania called thehotel “Traian” fom Iasi. Eiffel tower structure was built between 1887-1889, from steel produced in Resita. Eiffel Tower has in the composition the cast iron from furnace of Govajdia, Ghelar town, Hunedoara county.

The tower had 1792 steps to commemorate the 1792 Proclamation of the First Republic.

The fact that one of the symbols of Paris was possible because of a Romanian engineer and built with Romanian iron really sends

xxcorraxx

No mention of the fact that a Romanian engineer was involved in the project named
Panculescu the two decided it would be best if the materials would be manufactured in Romania and shipped to Paris to be assembled. The cast iron used in the tower's construction was sourced from Romania's Ghelar town while the steel was sourced from Resita in Romania! Most of materials of the simblol of Paris are made in Romania!

So many different comments saying. "The steel came from my country!" Sweden, Romania...
There is nowhere that states either of these, just that it came from mines around France....

u did not explain why mr eiffel choosed this particular shape and material, its the most important information.

Uh, Big Ben's the bell. I'm pretty sure the Eiffel Tower is a bit more than 3 times taller than it.

I love how you didn't mention the stolen metal that was taken from Algeria.

How can you find the distribution of iron (weight) down the tower?
