The Statue of Liberty was France's gift to America. It
was designed by the French sculptor Bartholdi and
presented to the USA in 1886.
Its total

height is

about 93

meters.
The Goddess of freedom holds a torch in its right hand, and the
tablet in the left. The inscription on the tablet reads "July 4, 1776"
– this is the date of the Declaration of Independence. The
Goddess stands with one foot on the broken chains.
o She wears a crown with 7
spikes that stand for the
light of liberty shining on
the seven seas and seven
continents.
o The crown also contains
25 windows symbolizing
earthly gems and heavenly
rays, which illuminate the
world.
The Statue of Liberty is
almost always open
for visitors. People
arrive here by ferry
and then climb on top
of the structure, where
the museum of statue’s
history is situated.
 It has become a symbol of the city (if not of the whole
country) and an expression of freedom to people all over the
world.
