The Statue of Liberty (officially titled "Liberty Enlightening the World") is the world-renowned monument that stands exactly 151 feet and 1 inch (46 meters) tall from her feet to the tip of her torch. While the entire structure, including the pedestal and the foundation, reaches a total height of 305 feet (93 meters), the copper statue itself represents that iconic 151-foot measurement. Designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and featuring an internal framework built by Gustave Eiffel, the statue was a gift from the people of France to the United States and was dedicated on October 28, 1886. Every detail of the 151-foot figure is laden with symbolism: the seven rays of her crown represent the seven continents and seven seas, and the tablet in her hand bears the date of the American Declaration of Independence. Today, the statue remains an enduring global symbol of freedom and democracy, welcoming millions of visitors each year to Liberty Island in New York Harbor. Because of her colossal scale, she was one of the tallest structures in New York City at the time of her dedication and remains one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the world.
