Statue of Liberty
Statue of Liberty, National monument on Liberty Island, New York Harbor, United States.
The copper and steel structure rises 46 meters high, featuring a robed female figure holding a torch and a tablet inscribed with July 4, 1776.
French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi designed the statue, which was assembled in 1886 after being transported from France in 350 individual pieces.
The statue served as the first glimpse of America for millions of immigrants arriving through New York Harbor between 1892 and 1954.
Visitors can reach Liberty Island by ferry from Battery Park in Manhattan or Liberty State Park in New Jersey with advance reservations required for crown access.
The statue's copper skin has naturally changed to a green color through oxidation, requiring only the thickness of two pennies to form its exterior.

Hello 🌿 How are you? I am a Muslim from Egypt. See please🌹 Islam is the religion of all prophets. The word Islam means complete submission and obedience to God, a single God who has no partners nor sons. Islam is based on principles of justice, peace, tolerance, mercy towards all our brothers in humanity. In Islam, we have a *direct connection* with our Creator. No mediators in between. There is no intermediary, such as praying to, or through, others, in worshipping God. And this is what makes Islam so special and unique. And *true happiness* is only found in *worshipping our Creator* as it is the right of the Creator to be worshipped alone and the right of humans to have a direct connection with His Creator.
