it has been called a technological masterpiece in building-construction
history. Built in commemoration of the French Revolution, the Eiffel Tower is
one of the world's premier tourist attractions. It has been compared to the
Great Pyramid of Giza and St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Nothing remotely like
it has ever been constructed. The tower is located on the Left Bank of the
Seine River, at the northwestern extreme of the Parc du Champ de Mars, a park
in front of the École Militaire that used to be a military parade ground.
This tower's dimensions are remarkable. The current height of
the tower is 1069 feet (320.75 meters), which is about the equivalent of a
105-story building. It is still the tallest structure in Paris by a very wide
margin. Its size is very deceiving since there are no other structures close to
it. The levels accessible to the public are at heights of 189 feet (57.63
meters), or 19 stories; 380 feet (115.73 meters), or 38 stories; and 896 feet
(273 meters), or 89 stories.
