What are the uses of the Eiffel Tower?

Answer 1

The purpose of the Eiffel Tower was to be an observation tower and mainly a tourist site. It was built for the fair in Paris in 1889 by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. The tower was supposed to be built only for this purpose, but then the government of France decided to keep the Eiffel Tower where it was.

Answer 2

The Eiffel Tower was built as an entrance arch for the World Exhibition (Exposition Universelle) in Paris in 1889. The exhibition was held in celebration of the French Revolution in 1789. It was an example of the latest construction technology. The Tower was opened 6th May 1889. It was initially intended to be dismantled afterwards but it was decided to let it stay.

The tower was built as the "theme structure" of the Universal Exposition of 1889, which was held in Paris. The city originally signed a contract for an operating concession for 20 years, and after that (in 1909) the concession would revert back to the City of Paris. The tower thus remained after the exposition (the only building to be left standing from the exposition). Most of the city council wanted to tear it down at the end of the concession and sell it for scrap. However, the military discovered that it was a great antenna for the newly invented technology of radio, and so the tower was left in place. After a while people stopped talking about tearing it down, and so it's still there.

Today, the tower is the world's most recognized landmark and an important symbol of Paris, of France, and of travel and exotic destinations in general.
