Gustave dreamed of building himself a cozy apartment with an adjacent laboratory where he and his scientist friends could perform experiments and share with each other the latest ideas and inventions. 

Shortly after its completion, the simple apartment became the envy of the elite throughout the world, not because of its amenities, but because of its location in the structure that named after Gustave, the Eiffel Tower.

In 1 Corinthians (4:18), we are encouraged to not look “to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”

Gustave Eiffel was offered incredible amounts of money to rent the apartment for just one night, but he turned them down each time. In the same vein, Satan makes offers to us of temporary pleasure and satisfaction, but these offers will cost us much more in the long run.

Just as Eiffel stood firm, be encouraged to stand strong against the temptations of this world, and set your heart on what is pure, what is good, what is holy.  

The reward will be much better than anything the world has to offer.

En esta conferencia del ciclo Monumentos, el ingeniero y catedrático Miguel Aguiló plantea en la visión de la Torre Eiffel desde una perspectiva histórica, técnica y estética.
