Statue of Liberty, Freedom is also called the World enlightening, This is one of the symbols of New York. At 11 September 2001 r. It was closed to visitors, but Today you can already get to the top, although it is not easy – day can only go in there 240 people. Unfortunately, during my visit to New York monument is still closed and I can only watch it from the bottom. And you know what? Live Statue of Liberty appears to be much smaller, than in the ideas!
The monument has 93 meters in height, of which 46 meters of copper itself form. It weighs 225 ton. Its steel frame was designed by Gustave Eiffel, although the monument itself is a work of Frédéric Bartholdi. Developed in France, sailed to New York in boxes and 26 October 1886 r. was officially donated to the United States by the French nation. Figure shows the Roman goddess Libertas, who holds a torch in his right hand, and in the left – plaque with the date of announcement of the Declaration of Independence.
Currently, crossing by ferry to Liberty Island costs 12 dolarów, and the entrance to the crown of the Statue is an adU.S. dollar expense 3 dolarów. Tickets can be booked up to one year in advance, and no wonder, taking into account the quantitative restrictions. To get to the top you must climb the 354 degrees, and administration of the monument warns, that there is no air conditioning inside :)
Late 2011 r. it is planned to re-close the Statue of renovation and construction of a new staircase. You can, however, will continue to sail on Liberty Island and stand at the foot of Libertas.
