Good evening! I am here again! 
I wiil tell about Great Tower! It's Eiffel Tower!

The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. It has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world. The tower received its 250 millionth visitor in 2010.

The Eiffel Tower 

The tower is 324 metres tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest man-made structure in the world. It is the second-tallest structure in France, after the Millau Viaduct.

Work on the foundations started on 28 January 1887.

7 December 1887: Construction of the legs with scaffolding                                                                    20 March 1888: Completion of the first level

15 May 1888: Start of construction on the second stage

21 August 1888: Completion of the second level

                                                     

                                                                                        

26 December 1888: Construction of the upper stage                                                                  15 March 1889: Construction of the cupola


Although construction involved 300 on-site employees, only one person died thanks to Eiffel's stringent safety precautions and the use of movable gangways, guardrails and screens.


The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second. The top level's upper platform is 276 m above the ground, the highest accessible to the public in the European Union. Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift to the first and second levels. The climb from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the climb from the first level to the second. 

After dark, the tower lit by hundreds of gas lamps, and a beacon send out three beams of red, white and blue light. Two searchlights mounted on a circular rail use to illuminate various buildings of the exposition.


Well, tomorrow I will talk about Germany and its unreal facts!
Will you wait eagerly?
Bye-bye!
