    DescriptionThe article reflects on the 130-year history of the Eiffel Tower, highlighting how a structure originally intended to be temporary became one of the most iconic landmarks in the world. Initially criticised by artists and expected to be dismantled after 20 years, the tower was preserved thanks to its scientific and technological uses, particularly in radio transmission. Over time, it evolved from a controversial engineering project into a global symbol of Paris and a testament to innovation and resilience.
