Statue of Liberty and the Iimmigrants

The Statue of Liberty, in addition to being a very important monument of the city of New York, became a symbol of the United States and represents in a more general way freedom and empowerment vis-à-vis of oppression. From its opening in 1886 at the Jet Age, the statue was the first vision of the United States for thousands of immigrants, after a long voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. In terms of architecture, it is reminiscent of the Statue of the Colossus of Rhodes, which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. It constitutes the main element of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, which is managed by the National Park Service.
