Copies of the Eiffel tower in Portugal



Leiria

This imitation of the Eiffel Tower is located in Portugal, north of the city of Leiria. The reasons for its existence are unknown, especially as it is in a roadside field, in an area apparently not very crowded.

This tower is well done, nothing more. The curvature of the pillars is correct, as well as the layout of the floors and the bracing of the caissons, but precisely what gets stuck is that there are no caissons here. Remember that the real Eiffel Tower is a superposition of 30 paralellipipedic caissons whereas this tower has pillars composed of two sides only. Note, however, that this is quite common, as an error. Otherwise, the decorative arc of the first floor is not pronounced, and the floors are just marked, not really materialized. And finally a note: The third floor, it seems quite well done while paradoxically it is often he who is sloppy, on a reproduction of the Eiffel Tower!
