1. The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 and served as the entrance and one of the main attractions for the 1889 World’s Fair held in Paris, France. First called the 300-meter Tower, it soon took the name of the man who built it, Gustave Eiffel. The tower was built in record time: 2 years, 2 months and 5 days and opened to the public the same day as the World’s Fair. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the world’s tallest man-made structure, a title it held for 41 years until the Chrysler Building was erected in 1930.
