After Eiffel’s design was chosen, construction began to take place around 1887. Taking only 2 years, 2 months and 5 days of construction, the structure was officially finished on the 31^st of March 1889.

At first criticised by Parisians for its appearance, the Eiffel Tower is now an icon that receives millions of visitors a year.
