Eiffel Tower in Early Construction Stages

The four sloping legs of the Eiffel Tower undergo construction in 1887 at the Champ-de-Mars in Paris. Civil engineer Gustave Eiffel designed the unique all-steel tower as a temporary structure for the Centennial Exposition of 1889. Instead of being demolished, it became a permanent fixture and a symbol of the city.
