A beacon for independence, freedom and liberty as well as being one of the most buildings in the entire world, the Statue of Liberty was once the tallest structure in the world and still stands at just under a hundred metres. From the iconic copper plating to the date of independence inscribed on her book, the Roman goddess was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. Firmly stamped down in the history books, the Statue of Liberty was often the first thing immigrants migrating to the United States saw as the came into the harbour, helping to lay the foundations for what would become the American Dream.
