In 1889, a new exhibit was constructed for the Paris World’s Fair. It completely dominated the Paris skyline. 

Most people considered it an eyesore and an architectural abomination. The only redeeming thing about it in their mind was the fact that it was only temporary and was going to be torn down after the fair was over. 

But it never was, and today it has become the iconic symbol for the city.
