[FHISKER]

The Eiffel Tower, built for the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris, was intended to stand for only 20 years before being dismantled.
Its unique iron lattice design was initially criticized by artists and intellectuals, who considered it an eyesore in the heart of Paris.

However, its usefulness as a radio transmission tower saved it from demolition and turned it into a symbol of French innovation.
Today, it is one of the most visited monuments in the world, attracting millions of travelers every year.

The Eiffel Tower hides a surprising secret about its original purpose!
