Appearance[]
The Statue of Liberty is a 150-foot-tall copper-clad, steel-framed statue of a woman wearing a draped gown covered with a Roman stole and wearing a seven-pointed crown representing the "Seven Continents" (North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Antarctica).
The woman holds in her left hand a tablet on which the date of American Independence is engraved in Roman numerals, and in her right hand she holds out towards the sky a burning torch whose flame is made of gold leaf.
The Statue of Liberty rests on a concrete and granite pedestal almost 47 meters high. On it we find in particular a bronze plaque on which "The New Colossus", a poem by Emma Lazarus, was engraved.
The statue faces east, more precisely towards Europe and France.
The original torch displayed inside the pedestal.
Inside the statue's pedestal is a large room with a white roof and black marble floor with a round pattern in the center. In the center of this room the statue's original torch is displayed to the public, while other elements, including the original plans, are displayed in the mezzanines. Finally, a small staircase leads to a large door, from which you can access the stairs that allow you to reach the upper part of the pedestal and the crown of the statue.
