The Statue of Liberty is a colossal monument on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, created by the French sculptor Frederic Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886.

The statue, a gift to the United States of America from the men and women of France, is of a robed woman figure symbolizing the Roman goddess of liberty, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata upon which is written the date of the American Declaration of Independence. A broken chain lies at her feet.

The statue has become an symbolic representation of liberty and of the United States of America.
