**Eiffel Tower** The Eiffel Tower is an iron structure located in Paris, France. It was created by the French structural engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, who was assisted in the design by engineers Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier, and the architect Stephen Sauvestre. It was erected for the Paris Exposition of 1889.  Some of the most important characteristics of the Eiffel Tower are the immense structure of exposed latticework supports made of 15,000 pieces of puddle iron. In 1889, its total height was 300.51 meters; nowadays because of the antenna it has a height of 320.755 meters. In spite of its height, the Eiffel tower only has three levels to which people can go up by using the elevator or stairs. In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful and incredible structures in the word. It shows the amazing things that could be built if architects and engineers work together. Another fascinating thing is the fact that the building is only made of iron without any surface, emphasizing the goodness and importance of this material in the architecture of the latest centuries.
