“Welcome to Twitter, my sister,” tweeted Statue of Liberty on its handle @LaTourEiffel, later joined by the Taj Mahal — indisputably the most famous example of Mughal architecture and a Unesco heritage site.
“Parisian since 1889, now I am sparkling on Twitter!” said one of the first tweets on the official account of the 1,063 ft-high tower nicknamed La Grande Dame by its creator Gustave Eiffel.
According to the officials, they decided to open the Twitter account to provide “news about the Tower, historical facts as well as practical information.”
