The tower is one of the world's most popular tourist attractions, drawing an average of 18,000 visitors each day.
In all, more than 200 million people have visited the tower since its construction. At 986 feet, it stood as the world's tallest tower for more than three decades until being surpassed by New York City's Chrysler Building in 1930.
The tower, designed by Gustave Eiffel, was originally constructed as the entrance arch for a World's Fair marking the 100-year anniversary of the French revolution.
