The Eiffel Tower is an iconic wrought-iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. Completed in 1889, it was designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel and his company for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. Standing at approximately 300 meters (984 feet) tall, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world until the completion of the Chrysler Building
