There are many crazy facts about the Eiffel tower and we will try to inform you in all of the facts :) So at first lets start of with the easy one, the Tower is made exclusively of wrought iron, although steel was available at the time. Eiffel chose iron because steel was more expensive since it was a new development, and also because he was experienced and confident in iron design. So as you see its not anything that big like gold or anything but look what steel and iron can make? That like mind blowing!! Next, did you know the Eiffel tower was made for the world fair at 1889. The Eiffel Tower is 320 meters or 1050 feet in height and was the tallest man made structure in the world for 41 years before being surpassed by the Chrysler Building in New York.
