Mejores Tours de Estatua de la Libertad en Julio

This 305-foot tall iconic emblem of the United States and freedom was designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi and has welcomed immigrants to "The Land of Opportunity" for centuries on its perch on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. The Statue of Liberty was given to the United States as a gift from France in 1896 because the two countries were allies during the American Revolution. Lady Liberty depicts the Roman Goddess of Freedom Libertas and the shackles on her feet represent oppression. The Neoclassical statue had to be separated into 350 pieces to be shipped to the United States. Don't forget to read the unforgettable Emma Lazarus poem engraved on the U.S. National Historic Landmark statue's base.
