Built in two years by Gustave Eiffel and his collaborators for the 1889 Paris World's Fair, celebrating the centenary of the French Revolution, and originally named the "300-metre tower", it has become the symbol of the French capital and a major tourist attraction: it was the fourth most visited paying cultural site in France in 2016, with 5.9 million visitors. Since it opened to the public, it has welcomed over 300 million visitors.https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_Eiffel
