The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris, which is the capital city of France.

The Eiffel Tower is 330 metres tall!

It took just over 2 years to build!

It is named after Gustave Eiffel who designed the tower.

There was a secret appartment at the top of the tower! Architect Gustave Eiffel cleverly included a private apartment, possibly the world’s most enviable address. Perched 1,000 feet above Champ de Mars, this space was used to conduct experiments and host impressive guests like Thomas Edison. 

Around 7 millions people visit the Eiffel Tower every year!

The Eiffel tower is twice the size of the Blackpool Tower in the UK!

There are 72 names engraved at the base of the Eiffel Tower!  It’s a symbolic way of paying tribute to the scholars, scientists, and mathematicians who contributed tirelessly to the tower’s successful assembly.
