The Eiffel Tower is located in the heart of Paris and is the tallest structure in the city. Locally nicknamed "La dame de fer" (French for "Iron Lady"), it was constructed from 1887 to 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair. The wrought-iron lattice tower is named after engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. At 324 m (1,063 ft) tall, it is about the same height as an 81-story building, and measures 125 m (410 ft) on each side.
