Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, it has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world.  It officially opened to the public on May 6, 1889 and was the tallest structure in the world until 1930.
