Eiffel Tower at dusk

---

This image shows the Eiffel Tower at dusk as seen from the Esplanade du Trocadéro. The Eiffel Tower (La tour Eiffel) is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It was named after the engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, 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 recognisable structures in the world.
