The Eiffel Tower, the world-famous attraction in Paris, turns 128 years old on March 31. The structure, once the tallest in the world, attracts around six million visitors every year. /CFP Photo

The landmark was inaugurated on March 31, 1889, the year the World’s Fair was held to honor the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. /CFP Photo

A bulletproof wall will be erected around the iconic structure later this year at a cost of 20 million euros, in response to the terror threat in France. /CFP Photo

With the motto of France being "Liberté, égalité, fraternité", check out the tower that continues to make an impression today! /CFP Photo
