It was designed and built by Gustave Eiffel as a contribution to the world fair in Paris (France) in 1889, it is approximately 320+meters. It's famous for its views of the city of Paris, and is a cliche 'romantic' site now, structurally it is a 'beautifull' piece of engineering but was only built as a temporary measure for the world fair...its now about 120years old and world famous construction!
The Eiffel tower is 3 floor high (for french people, 4 floor high for Americans).
Every floor is painted in a slightly different colour to give the impression it is painted the same colour from ground to the top. Because of its height, if it was painted the same colour, you would be shocked, given the impression it is painted in different colours.
The Eiffel tower is very heavy and it built on the weak land of the shore of the river Seine (left bank). Its weight had to be lowered. So Eiffel divided it the most he could (the reason of the four feet of the tower divided in feet too). Considering a square inch, Eiffel managed that his tower pressures less the ground than the heel of stiletto heels on the same surface.
