One of the most famous monuments on the world, the Statue of Liberty was presented to the United
States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue , which was
designed by the sculptor Auguste Batholdi , took ten years to complete it. The actual figure was
made of copper supported by a metal framework , which was especially constructed by Eiffel, before
it could be translated to the USA , a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The
site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet
tall, was erected in Paris. The following year it was taken in to pieces and sent to the America. By
the end of October 1886 , the statue was put together again and it was officially presented to the
American people by Bartholdi.
