Gifted by France to the United States in 1886, the statue was designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. Officially titled "Liberty Enlightening the World," it represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom. Lady Liberty holds a torch above her head with her right hand, and in her left hand carries a tabula ansata inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4th, 1776. This iconic American landmark has been a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad and is deeply embedded in national culture and pride.
