La Tour Eiffel is one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks. The tower was designed as the centerpiece of the 1889 World's Fair in Paris and was meant to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution and show off France’s modern mechanical prowess on a world stage. Every evening, the Eiffel Tower is adorned with its golden covering and sparkles for 5 minutes every hour on the hour, while its beacon shines over Paris. The Eiffel Tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world. It is 324 metres tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building, and the tallest structure in Paris.
