Every American is proud of the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom. The Statue of Liberty, one of the largest ever built, stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor and has greeted millions of American immigrants who have come from Europe to the New World. The Statue of Liberty was built by Fredrick Bartholdi. The French gave it to America as a gift in honour of the revolutions for freedom and liberty in both countries. The monument was built out of copper plates that were put on a steel frame. Together with the concrete which it stands on the statue rises almost 100 metres into the sky. It shows a woman in a robe, wearing a crown with 7 spikes and holding a torch in her hand. In her left hand she holds a tablet with the inscription “July 4, 1776”, the date of the Declaration of Independence.
