The correct answer is EIFFEL TOWER, in Paris, capital of France. The tower was originally built for the 1889 World's Fair, with the idea that it would be dismantled after the Fair ended. After Germany invaded France in 1940, Hitler ordered the tower be destroyed, along with the rest of Paris, but General Dietrich von Choltitz, the military governor of Paris (effectively the mayor) to demolish the tower along with the rest of the city.; Von Choltitz disobeyed the order.

Due to French copyright law, the lights are the tower are considered artwork, so taking a picture violates copyright and is illegal, though this is not often enforced.
