The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 and has an amazing origin story. In 1889, in Paris, to commemorate the centenary of the French revolution, was held the world's fair, thanks to the trade fair city officials commissioned to design and erect a temporary structure serving as the entrance arch of her.
General French competition of architectural and engineering projects, which were to determine the architectural appearance of the future world Expo started on may 1, 1886. The competition was attended by 107 candidates, most of whom in varying degrees, already repeated the tower project proposed by Eiffel. Thus the Eiffel project becomes one of the four winners, and then the engineer makes any final changes, finding a compromise between the original pure engineering design scheme and decorative option.
