Eiffel Tower Day Significance

Eiffel Tower Day is an important day that encourages people to learn about its history and engineering. The day encourages people to visit the Eiffel Tower and explore its beauty. The design of the Eiffel Tower is attributed to Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier, two senior engineers working for the Compagnie des Établissements Eiffel. The tower is 330 metres, which is 1,083 ft tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building, and is the tallest structure in Paris.

During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest human-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York City was finished in 1930. The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second levels. Maintenance of the tower includes applying 60 tons of paint every 7 years to prevent it from rusting. The tower has been completely repainted at least 19 times since it was built, with the most recent being in 2010.
