They are made out differently Eiffel Tower made out of metal on hard grounds, the Leaning Tower Of Pisa is made of white marble and stone built on soft grounds which cases it to lean.

The tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair.

The architect, Gustave Eiffel, had a permit for the tower to stand for 20 years; it was to be dismantled in 1909, when the City of Paris would take over ownership. The City had planned to tear it down (part of the original contest rules for designing a tower was that it could be easily demolished) but as the tower proved valuable for communication purposes, it was allowed to remain after the expiry of the permit.

For the base, concrete was used. The tower is made out of wrought iron which if maintained with a protective layer of paint can last an extremely long time. Glass is used on the first floor of the tower.

Iron used : approximately 7300 tons

Other materials : approximately 2700 tons

Different materials were used to construct the Eiffel Tower. Concrete was used to construct the base and mainly wrought iron for the rest.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris is constructed from low carbon iron which can last for many years if protected from moisture. However it still rusts. Thankfully the tower is sealed every seven years with 60 tons of paint.

The Seine River flows directly in front of the tower under the Iéna Bridge which you can see from the tower. Behind the tower, you can see the Champ de Mars, a large park, with the École Militaire (a military school) at the other end. You can also see the rolling hills with its trees and buldings scattered over them.

The base of the Eiffel Tower has a maximum width of 124.9 meters (410 feet). The bottom arches have a span of 74.24 meters (243.6 feet)

The Eiffel Tower is being used as a landmark in Paris for tourist attraction, and also for radio transmissions and observatory purposes.

On the second floor is a restaurant called the Jules Verne Restaurant. It is named after the famous writer, Jules Verne, because he loved his home country, Paris. :)~Ctmusicgirl7

The Eiffel Tower, built in commemoration of the French Revolution, was the tallestbuilding in the world when it was unveiled at the Paris World's Fair in 1889.

The Eiffel Tower was designed by Gustave Eiffel (from a design by Maurice Koechlin) in the middle 1880's, and was originally planned for the "Universal Exhibition of 1888" (a "World's Fair") in Barcelona, Spain. But it was eventually built in Paris for the "Universal Exhibition of 1889". It was completed and inaugurated March 31, 1889, and opened to visitors on July 2. The structure was built between 1887 and 1889.

It was the first-ever manmade structure taller than the Great Pyramid in Egypt. So yes.

The Eiffel tower is a "wrought iron" lattice tower
The tower is built of "puddled iron" (a structural iron). There were more than 18,000 separate components joined by more than 2.5 million rivets.
it is an iron structure

The triangle is a strong shape to build upon. For the shape of the tower, which narrows towards the top, a triangle is the best way to build that structure without it being ungainly or structurally weak.

On 1862 July 8th Gustave Eiffel maried Marie Guadelet. The couple had fifteen happy years and five children together (three girls, and two boys) before Marie caught pneumonia and died in 1887. after that he never maried again. == ==
