as seen from the
Champ de Mars
. At 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, the tower, an
iron
lattice tower
, is the
tallest building in Paris
, the most-visited paid monument in the world, as well as one of the most recognizable structures in the world. Named after its designer,
Gustave Eiffel
, it was built as an entrance arch for the 1889
Exposition Universelle
and has since become the most prominent symbol of both
Paris
and
France
.
