The Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Libery is a monument commemorating the centennial of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence, given to the United States by France to represent the friendship between the two countries established during the American Revolution, which was dedicated on October 28, 1886 and shows a woman wearing a stola, a crown, and sandals. She is trampling a broken chain, carrying a torch in her raised right hand and a tabula ansata, where the date of the Declaration of Independence is inscribed, in her left arm. Standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, it welcomes visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans traveling by ship. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted this amazing structure.
