We've all heard a lot about France's Eiffel Tower, which is a wonderful sign. In the photographs or in the movies, I saw the magnificent craftsmanship of this wonderful building or tower. But the history behind the construction of this tower may not be known to many.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris (La Tour Eiffel La Tur Eiffel) is one of the world's most famous structures and is one of France's tallest 300 meters (986 ft) tall tower built in Gustivo Eiffel. In 1930, the Chrysler Building in New York, Until the end of the construction, the Eiffel Tower was the world's tallest structure.
Eiffel designed the bridge for the railway, and he used that experience to build the tower. The minaret was named after the 'Eiffel Tower'. It required 300 staff to create this tower by adding 16,038 iron pieces of different shapes.

Interestingly, the construction of the tower was completed on March 31, 1889, only for two years, two months, and two days. To build such high and such a tower, very little labor has been spent. The construction of this tower has initiated a revolution in civil engineering and architecture.

In 1909, a wireless antenna was installed on its peak. It increased its height further to 20.75 meters (66 feet). Since then the Eiffel Tower is also being used for radio transmissions. Later, a TV antenna was added to the Eiffel Tower.

On the contrary, the Eiffel Tower of Paris has already passed 127 years. At the time of the construction of this tower did not get much attention. But its popularity continued to increase with time. At the beginning it was not much more than a metallic object. The Eiffel Tower was opened on 26 January 1887. The Eiffel Tower brought the special status of the capital city of Paris, in the tune of time. This tower has become one of the attractions of the world.

After the launch of the tower, the city was disturbed, the beauty of Paris was ruined. The dancers were shouting, as if the shame of a monster city. Even the movement of the Eiffel Tower was started on average, and the movement started. During World War II, the French army thought of dismantling part of the tower to stop the misuse of the Nazis, then Hitler himself ordered the destruction of the Eiffel Tower, although it was disobeyed.
