Tour Eiffel

Created by Gustave Eiffel, the construction of the Eiffel Tower lasted just over two years and 250 workers worked there.

The artists of the moment considered it monstrous and the possibility of demolishing it on different occasions was raised.

With the advent of world wars on the twentieth century, the authorities found its usefulness as a broadcasting antenna and with it they captured messages that helped the allies decisively.

Nowadays, the Eiffel Tower is the most visited monument in the world with more than 7 million annual visitors.
