The Eiffel Tower

Hello! Today, a post about the Eiffel Tower!

How tall am I?

I’m 330-meters-high including the antennas, that is to say 1080-feet-high.

How old am I?

I was built in two years for the Universal Fair of 1889. My architect was Mr Eiffel, after whom I’m named

What’s so amazing about me?

Two things: first, I’m made of metal, which was very unusual at the time of my building. Second, I was supposed to be temporary, and be destroyed at the end of the fair.
