*** About Statue of Liberty

*** The Statue of Liberty, a monumental gift from France to the United States, was unveiled in 1886. Designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, this colossal statue serves as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. Standing at over 305 feet from the ground to the tip of the torch, the statue is strategically placed on Liberty Island in New York Harbor to welcome arriving immigrants. Significant for its neoclassical design, the statue represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who holds a torch and a tabula ansata inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence. Over time, the Statue of Liberty has transcended its initial diplomatic gesture to become an enduring icon of the United States and a beacon of hope to millions around the world.
