Eiffel Tower replicas and derivatives
As one of the most iconic and recognisable structures in the world, the Eiffel Tower, completed in 1889, has been the inspiration for the creation of over 50 similar towers around the world. Most are not exact replicas, though there are many that resemble it closely, while others look slightly different. The Eiffel Tower has also inspired other towers that are not close resembling replicas and therefore not listed here. An example of this is the Blackpool Tower on England's Irish Sea coast, one of the oldest towers inspired by Eiffel that opened in 1894, 5 years later, which proved that a tower could be a profitable tourist attraction. Not a true replica, the Blackpool tower differs from the Paris one in a number of ways: it is approximately half the height of the Eiffel, it is not freestanding as well as the fact that the base contains a row of buildings that are home to its many attractions.
