18. The Cologne Cathedral, Germany
This Catholic cathedral found in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia is the country’s most popular tourist attraction. Also, the official seat of the Archbishop of Cologne, over 20,000 tourists explore the building every day. Construction on this medieval marvel started in 1248 but was halted in 1473.
Construction would not resume until some time in 1840. The cathedral would not actually be finished until 1880. Today it is the home of the Three Kings or Three Wise Men relics.
17. The Eiffel Tower, France
Ensconced on the famous Champ de Mars in Paris, this famous French icon is a wrought-iron lattice tower. It was erected in 1889 and meant to serve as the marker for the main entrance for the World’s Fair that year. It was designed by Gustave Eiffel.
Immediately after it was finished it became the object of derision of both the French intelligentsia and Paris art community. It was supposed to be torn down two decades after the fair. Eiffel argued the structure had a scientific purpose so city officials decided to let it stand. Today it is the city’s most popular tourist attraction.
