The Statue Of Liberty !

Standing over 45 meters tall, the colossal statue is situated on a
miniscule island in New York harbour.


Constructed of copper and garbed in Grecian Style  robes the
statue holds ignited torch in he raised right hand. Resting on a pedestal,
this famous lady is depicted stepping towards freedom from a fractured chain at her feet.


A lift is a available to transport visitors to the top of the pedestal. From
there they can ascend a spiral staircase of one hundred and sixty eight
steps to reach the interior of her head.


A gift to the United States of America from France, the Statue of Liberty
has been a welcoming symbol since it was erected in 1884.
