PARIS - The city of Paris is celebrating the Eiffel Tower's 130th anniversary with a spectacular laser and strobe light show.

Designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel, the 1,063-foot tall monument was debuted on May 15 as a part of the World Fair in 1889. Now, the iron tower attracts over six million tourists every year.

The 12-minute spectacle kicked off Wednesday and the lights will run through Friday at the iconic landmark.
