marcelus in response to simonetty's question: I have a knowledge gap. Why did the Parisians build that Eiffel Tower after all?(give a different answer) .
The tower was meant to commemorate a century from the Revolution- the construction commenced in 1889 on the occasion of the World Fair. The French cultural elite disapproved of the erection of this "metal asparagus", as some French called it. Later, in 1909, it was almost demolished, but it was saved due to its quality of being a good platform for the transmitting antennas that were used in newly emerged radiotelegraphy. Imagine Paris without the tower...hmm...strange
