The height of the Statue of Liberty is 93 meters, of which 46 meters is the statue itself, the rest is an impressive pedestal. The magnificently executed Roman goddess Libertas holds a tablet in her left hand and a torch in her right. The date of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence of America is written on the tablet.

It was built as a gift from France to the United States for the 1876 World's Fair and the centenary of American independence (only the torch of the statue was shown at the exhibition). The United States received the completed statue only in 1886.
