🗼 Eiffel Tower – Landmark Structure (8x8, 1200 Culture)
The Eiffel Tower is a globally recognized symbol of architectural achievement and French cultural heritage. Located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France, this wrought-iron lattice tower stands as one of the most iconic landmarks in the world.
Constructed between 1887 and 1889, the Eiffel Tower was originally designed as the centerpiece of the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair), held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. The project was spearheaded by engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company was responsible for the design and construction of the tower. While initially met with criticism from some in the Parisian art and architecture communities, it has since become a defining feature of the city’s skyline and a major tourist attraction.
In city-building simulations like TheoTown or similar platforms, the Eiffel Tower is implemented as a landmark structure that greatly enhances the cultural value of surrounding areas. It is typically modeled as an 8x8 tile building, reflecting its large physical footprint and impressive scale. Once placed in a city, it provides a substantial boost of +1200 Culture, helping attract more residents and tourists while increasing land value in the surrounding zones.
The tower’s iron lattice design allows it to stand at 324 meters (1,063 feet) tall, including antennas. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world until the Chrysler Building in New York was completed in 1930. Today, it remains one of the most-visited monuments in the world, drawing millions of visitors each year.
