The Eiffel Tower was built between 1887 and 1889 by the firm of Gustave Eiffel as the entrance gate of the Expo 1889 Paris fair, which was organized as part of the centennial celebrations of the French Revolution. Actually, the architect of the tower is not Gustave Eiffel, but Stephen Sauvestre, who designed it on the order of Swiss Maurice Koechlin. He made the first designs with his colleague Emile Nouguier. The construction costs of the tower cost 7,739,401 francs 31 cents, 1 million francs above Gustave Eiffel's estimates. When 1.9 million people visited in the 5 months before its opening date in 1889, 3/4 of the total expense was deducted by the end of the year.

3,000 workers assembled 18,038 pieces of iron with 2.5 million rivets over 26 months. The fact that there were no death cases is surprising under the conditions of that day.

However, the tower also attracted the reaction of the people of Paris, who saw it as a shame. While some artists liken it to a gigantic street lamp, they argued that it would damage the visual reputation of Paris like a factory chimney. Thus, a campaign was launched around the artists and writers of the period, and leaflets signed by famous artists were distributed during this campaign. Today, the Eiffel Tower is considered one of the most beautiful architectural structures in the world. Parisians call her the Iron Lady. Initially, Eiffel only allowed the Tower for 20 years. Therefore, the tower had to be dismantled in 1909. However, as the tower reached a very suitable height for communication and allowed transatlantic communications in the new century, it was allowed to remain. In this context, the Eiffel Tower has played an important role in the development of radio broadcasting. The Eiffel Tower, with the advantage of being able to spread radio waves over very long distances, l. It was also used as a signal cutter and jammer in World War II. Although the Eiffel Tower is the most visited point in Paris today, it is still used as a transmitter station with its 27-meter radio transmitter at the top. [1]
