Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty in New York is an iconic monument that symbolizes freedom and democracy. As you gaze upon it, you will see a colossal figure of a woman in a classical toga, representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of liberty, holding a torch in her raised right hand and a tablet in her left hand inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. The statue, located on Liberty Island, also features a seven-pointed crown, symbolizing the seven continents and seas of the world, and at its feet are broken chains, representing the abolition of slavery and oppression.
