Paris Eiffel Tower Landmark Coloring Page

The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.

It was originally intended to be a temporary structure, standing for only 20 years, but its use as a radio antenna saved it from demolition.

The tower is repainted every seven years, a process that requires 60 tons of paint and takes over a year to complete.

Gustave Eiffel, the engineer whose company designed and built the tower, had a private apartment at the very top.

The Eiffel Tower is one of the most visited paid monuments in the world, attracting millions of visitors each year.
