The Eiffel Tower is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower in 1889. It was initially criticised by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but 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; 6.98 million people ascended it in 2011. via 500px http://j.mp/1rx2iok
