It was intended as a gift from France to the United States to mark the centenary of American independence in 1876, but could not be unveiled until 1886 due to delays in funding and construction. <\/p>\n<p>The landmark is 46 metres high and 93 metres in total, including the height from the base to the top of the torch. It depicts a female figure symbolising freedom, holding in her left hand a tablet with the date of the American Declaration of Independence (4 July 1776). In her right hand she holds a torch, symbolising enlightenment and guidance.  <\/p>\n<p>The Statue of Liberty was originally made of copper, which has developed a green patina over the years. This green colour is a natural corrosion process of the copper and gives the statue its distinctive appearance. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984, the landmark is not only a national but also an international symbol of freedom and human rights.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44b844d gallery-spacing-custom elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"44b844d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-12129 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"44b844d\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Statue of Liberty\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6ODI4NiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Rlc3RhcnkuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wOFwvbnljX3RvcF9zcG90cy0xOC1zY2FsZWQuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiNDRiODQ0ZCJ9\" href='https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nyc_top_spots-18-scaled.jpg'><img width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nyc_top_spots-18-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Statue of Liberty\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-8286\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-8286'>\n\t\t\t\tStatue of Liberty\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"44b844d\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Statue of Liberty\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6ODI5NCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Rlc3RhcnkuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wOFwvbnljX3RvcF9zcG90cy0yMi1zY2FsZWQuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiNDRiODQ0ZCJ9\" href='https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nyc_top_spots-22-scaled.jpg'><img width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nyc_top_spots-22-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Statue of Liberty\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-8294\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-8294'>\n\t\t\t\tStatue of Liberty\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"44b844d\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Statue of Liberty\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTQwMCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Rlc3RhcnkuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8xMFwvYW1lcmljYW5fZHJlYW0tMTAtc2NhbGVkLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjQ0Yjg0NGQifQ%3D%3D\" href='https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/american_dream-10-scaled.jpg'><img width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/american_dream-10-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Statue of Liberty\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-9400\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-9400'>\n\t\t\t\tStatue of Liberty\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f6c638 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9f6c638\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9670986 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9670986\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cultural significance and symbolism<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c94126 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c94126\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>More than just a monument in New York, the Statue of Liberty is a world-renowned symbol of freedom, hope and the pursuit of dreams.

Many of these immigrants arrived at Ellis Island, where they underwent medical and legal screening before being allowed to enter the United States. The Statue of Liberty was their constant companion, symbolising the promise of a new life.     <\/p>\n<p>It was a particularly powerful symbol for the European immigrants who saw it for the first time when they arrived in New York.
