When was the Eiffel Tower completed?

The Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889 for the Exposition Universelle, a world fair held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. Designed by Gustave Eiffel and his team, it took two years, two months, and five days to construct. At 324 metres tall, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world until the Chrysler Building in New York surpassed it in 1930. The Eiffel Tower has become a global symbol of France and an iconic piece of engineering. Today, it attracts nearly 7 million visitors annually and offers breathtaking views of Paris.
