Статуя Свободы.
Великолепная Статуя Свободы стоит в гавани Нью-Йорка и приветствует миллионы иностранных гостей и граждан, возвращающихся в Соединенные Штаты из-за границы. Идея создания такой статуи возникла во Франции по случаю 100-летия США.
В 1886 году французы подарили американскому народу статую Августа Бартольди «Свобода, озаряющая мир». Остров Свободы площадью 12 акров был выбран в качестве постоянного места для статуи. Он был установлен на пьедестале из бетона и гранита. Статуя с пьедесталом высотой 305 футов.
Около 800 000 человек посещают Остров Свободы каждый год. Вы можете подняться по 354 ступеням, чтобы добраться до вершины статуи. Лифт доставит туристов на вершину пьедестала, но оттуда те, кто хочет подняться выше, должны подняться к голове статуи, где есть смотровая площадка. В ясный день с этой платформы открывается прекрасный вид на гавань и Нью-Йорк. Правая рука и торе закрыты для публики. Свобода держит в правой руке форсунку свободы. В левой руке она держит табличку с надписью «4 июля 1776 г.» - День независимости США. На острове Свободы, у подножия статуи, находится музей.
