The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture located on Liberty Island in the New York Harbor, United States. It is one of the most famous landmarks and symbols of the United States. Designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the statue was a gift from the people of France to the United States, dedicated on October 28, 1886.
The Statue of Liberty represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, and it was intended to symbolize the friendship between the two nations and the principles of liberty and democracy. The statue depicts a robed female figure holding a torch aloft in her right hand and a tablet inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence in her left hand. The torch represents enlightenment, and the tablet signifies the rule of law.
Standing at a height of about 305 feet (93 meters) from the ground to the tip of the torch, the Statue of Liberty was once the tallest iron structure in the world. It is made of copper sheets, which have developed a green patina over time due to oxidation. The statue's framework was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the engineer famous for his work on the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The Statue of Liberty has become a symbol of freedom and democracy, welcoming immigrants and visitors to the United States. It is a popular tourist attraction and remains an iconic symbol of the nation's ideals and values.
