What is the ruling on publishing architectural and artistic photos of European cities, such as the Eiffel Tower, for fear of the presence of women in them who may not be apparent to the publisher but may be apparent to another scrutinizer, and does the publisher bear the sin for that?

It is not permissible to publish pictures of unveiled women on the internet. One must carefully examine pictures before publishing them to ensure they are free from anything forbidden. It is preferable to publish pictures of great Islamic monuments, as they serve as a reminder of the Muslim civilization, although there is no harm in publishing pictures of the Eiffel Tower and the like, subject to the aforementioned controls.
