The Statue of Liberty is a famous symbol of freedom and democracy located in New York City. It was a gift from France to the United States in 1886 to commemorate the alliance between the two countries during the American Revolution.
The statue stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor and is a colossal neoclassical sculpture designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. It depicts a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, holding a torch and a tablet inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence.
Visitors can climb to the crown of the statue and enjoy panoramic views of New York City and the surrounding area. The Statue of Liberty has become a symbol of hope and opportunity for immigrants coming to the United States seeking a better life.
