The Eiffel Tower (French: Tour Eiffel) is an 1889 iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris that has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The Eiffel Tower, which is the tallest building in Paris, is the single most visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch for the 1889 World's Fair.
The tower stands 324 m (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-story building. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world from its completion until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France after the 2004 Millau Viaduct.
The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift to the first and second levels. The walk to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by lift. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.
The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.

La Torre Eiffel (Tour Eiffel, en francés), inicialmente nombrada torre de 330 metros (tour de 330 mètres), es una estructura de hierro pudelado diseñada por el ingeniero francés Gustave Eiffel y sus colaboradores para la Exposición universal de 1889 en París.
Situada en el extremo del Campo de Marte a la orilla del río Sena, este monumento parisiense, símbolo de Francia y su capital, fue el noveno lugar más visitado del país en 2006 y el monumento más visitado del mundo con 6.893.000 de visitantes en 2007. Con una altura de 300 metros, prolongada más tarde con una antena a 325 metros, la Torre Eiffel fue la estructura más elevada del mundo durante más de 40 años, hasta que la superó el edificio Chrysler, de Nueva York, en 1930.
Fue construida en dos años, dos meses y cinco días en controversia con los artistas de la época, que la veían como un monstruo de hierro. Inicialmente utilizada para pruebas del ejército con antenas de comunicación, hoy sirve, además de atractivo turístico, como emisora de programas radiofónicos y televisivos.
