Interesting fact: The Eiffel Tower was the tallest man-made structure in the world for 41 years after its completion in 1889.
The answer: The Eiffel Tower weighs approximately 10,100 metric tons (about 11,150 US tons).
Constructed from wrought iron, the Eiffel Tower's weight includes its iron framework and other materials. Despite its massive size, the tower's design distributes weight efficiently, allowing it to stand firmly on its four pillars. Its weight is a testament to 19th-century engineering and remains a symbol of Paris and France.
