THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

Statue of Liberty is situated on a tiny island, Liberty Island, New York. It is a large turquoise woman elevated on a base. On the right hand, it has a torch and on the other hand, it holds some papers. Also, on the head it has a crown. It wears a robe like the dresses that wore the romans in the past. It is one of the monuments more recognized around the world.

It was a present from Françe in the XIX century for the celebration of the centenary of the independence of the United States of America. It became a symbol of freedom, especially to welcome all the Europe immigrants that came to USA to find freedom and new opportunities. The torch symbolizes the light, the papers that it hold, symbolizes the law and the crown, that had seven skipes, means the seven continents.

Nowadays, people can visit it and they also can enter and go to the top. From the crown, that has some windows, they can see all the city. Although it is pretty big but only 70 people can enter at the same time. Inside, on the first floor, there is a shop where people can buy some souvenirs about the statue. There are lots of funny things like key rings, pens, pencils, notebooks, masks, clothes…

If some day you plan a travel to New York you cannot forget to visit it. You will have a spectacular day.
