This article is about some curious data from the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower has 20,000 light bulbs which in 2003 were replaced by 25 mountain climbers for 5 months; originally it was going to last for 20 years but Eiffel found a way to make it last longer; also de fact that all the nights, 5 minutos every hour, the tower glows in gold; to go to the highest part of the tower, the tourists must climb 1,665 stairs, or if you don't want, the tower has 8 elevators; for 41 years it was the highest building in the world, with 324 meters; per year it receives approximately 7 thousand of visitants; it can be seen from almost every part of the city; and more.
Few years before it was inaugurated the tower had this essential part:





For me this is one of my favorite towers of all time. Is so impressive how they did this tower, but especially in that time, because now we use the technology to make the things easier, faster, effective, and in those years the technology wasn't even developed. And especially, what I also like, are the changes that they have done after the creation of the tower. For example, in the article they added a photo of how the first floor was at the beginning (the photo in the right) and if you go there right now is completely different, all is closed and allows more people to go there. And finally, also I love to see the tower with the lights on, was very smart from Eiffel because it is more attractive to watch the tower with a lot of lights on, and also is very simbolic when the tower's lights are from another country's flag in form of solidarity when this other country has suffered terrorist attacks.
