The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the United States from the people of France over one hundred years ago in recognition of the friendship established during the American Revolution. The formal name of The Statue of Liberty is “Liberty Enlightening the World”. Located in New York, 151 feet tall, the Statue of Liberty symbolizes freedom throughout the world. Frederic Bartholdi was the architect of the Statue of Liberty. 
The statue, made of copper sheets with an iron framework, depicts a woman escaping the chains of despotism, which lie at her feet. Her right hand holds aloft a burning torch that represents liberty. Her left hand holds a tablet inscribed with the date "July 4, 1776" (in Roman numerals), the day the United States declared its independence from England. Ellis Island is the island near to the statue in New York harbor.
Visitors climb 354 steps to reach the crown or 192 steps in order to reach the top of the pedestal. There are 25 windows in the crown which symbolize 25 gemstones found on the earth.
