The Eiffel Tower

Gustave Eiffel's The Eiffel Tower

Gustave Eiffel built the Eiffel Tower in 1887. After the building of the Crystal Palace by Joseph Paxton in 1850, using the exposed metal and glass that people came to love, Gustave built this magnificent structure in Paris. Now, when anybody sees the Eiffel Tower, whether it be a picture or mini statue, they can most likely tell you where it's located. The Eiffel Tower has become such a symbol of Paris over time, it is one of the most well-known buildings in the world. Though, the tower wasn't always sought after because of its beauty. When it was first built, it was hated because it was nothing like anything that had ever been constructed at that time with the height it possesses in the exposed metal and glass used to build it. In my opinion, the Eiffel Tower is a beautiful structure in the way it looks, and how it has become such a big part of the history of what I think is a beautiful place, Paris.
