Brief History

The tower was named after the architect Gustave Eiffel who built the tower in 1889 on the occasion of 100th year anniversary of the French Revolution. It took 2 years, 2 months and 5 days to complete the whole structure which was a veritable technical and architectural achievement.
The Eiffel was supposed to last for 20 years and fortunately, thanks to the scientific experiments, the tower functioned as radio transmissions, military radio post then public radio in 1925. 
Since 1980s, this monument has been renovated, repainted, restored for public visits. 
So far, Eiffel tower is not only the key attraction for all Paris City Tours, hundreds of cultural performances including football festival, new year and independence day celebration are held at the foot of Eiffel.
