On this day in 1889 the public was presented to the Eiffel Tower. This symbol of Paris is open for visitors a week later. It was built on the Field of Mars, beside the Seine River, and is named after its designer, Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. It was built on the occasion of the World Exhibition in 1889, and has remained one of the biggest attractions of Paris and France.
Eiffel tower weighs 10,100 tons, and its construction killed one worker. When he was presented to the public, was met with resistance by citizens, who disputed his aesthetics. It is said that the writer Guy de Maupassant regularly ate at the restaurant on the tower, as it is the only place in Paris where nobody sees. However, today the tower is considered one of najupečljativijih art installations in the world.
