Known as a place of romance and possibility, Paris France is the origin of the Eiffel Tower, next up on this list. Built with wrought iron lattice, a tower structure developed by architect Gustave Eiffel - main lead on the project - reveals the simplistic beauty of France’s dearest possession. Construction took place from 1887 to 1889 and has turned into a world-renowned sight, which currently holds a title as the most visited paid monument in the world with approximately seven-million per year. With a height of about three-hundred-twenty-four meters, the Eiffel Tower is currently the tallest building in Paris, France.
