The Eiffel Tower Was Almost Torn Down

[Touya Kun]

In the early 1900s, the Eiffel Tower was almost dismantled. It was originally built for the 1889 World’s Fair, and many Parisians considered it an eyesore. However, its usefulness as a radio tower saved it from being demolished.

It’s incredible to think the Eiffel Tower was almost taken down! Its transformation into a valuable radio tower is what saved it from demolition.
