On this day in 1889: Eiffel Tower inaugurated

The Eiffel Tower, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world, was officially inaugurated on March 31, 1889. Designed by the French engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was constructed as the centerpiece of the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) in Paris, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.

A Marvel of Engineering

The Eiffel Tower was an extraordinary engineering feat for its time. Standing 330 meters (1,083 feet) tall, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world until the Chrysler Building in New York surpassed it in 1930. Made of wrought iron, the tower’s design was a testament to modern construction techniques and precision engineering. Despite initial skepticism and opposition from artists and intellectuals who called it an “eyesore,” the tower quickly became a symbol of progress and innovation.

The Grand Inauguration

On March 31, 1889, Gustave Eiffel led a group of dignitaries, including journalists and government officials, to the top of the tower to mark its official completion. The journey to the summit was challenging as the elevators were not yet operational, requiring Eiffel and his guests to climb 1,710 steps. Once at the top, Eiffel hoisted the French flag, accompanied by a 21-gun salute, officially declaring the tower open.

The inauguration was a moment of national pride, demonstrating France’s technological prowess. Gustave Eiffel was awarded the Legion of Honor, the highest French order of merit, for his remarkable contribution to engineering and architecture.

A Tower That Stood the Test of Time

Initially, the Eiffel Tower was meant to be a temporary structure, scheduled for demolition after 20 years. However, its use as a radio transmission tower helped extend its lifespan. Over the years, it became a global icon, attracting millions of visitors annually. Today, the Eiffel Tower remains a symbol of France, a masterpiece of architecture, and a top tourist destination.

From its grand inauguration in 1889 to its status as a world-famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower continues to captivate people with its elegance and history. More than a century later, it stands tall as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic vision.
