Context
Designed by Gustave Eiffel and built between 1887 and 1889 for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris, the tower held the record as the world's tallest structure for 41 years until the Chrysler Building surpassed it in 1930.
The quoted height depends on what is measured: the iron lattice structure (300 m), or the full height including the broadcast antenna at the top (330 m as of 2022). Official sources and most references now use the 330 m figure.
