Tour Eiffel
Built in 1889 and designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel. The world's tallest building until 1931, when the Empire State building was completed. On a clear day, from the third level, 899 ft above the ground, it is possible to see for 45 miles, including a distant view of Chartres Cathedral.


My personal favorite
