The Statue of Liberty [1886 - ]. "Liberty Enlightening the World" was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the United States. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was designated as a National Monument in 1924. The statue is a figure of Libertas, a robed Roman liberty goddess. She holds a torch above her head with her right hand, and in her left hand carries a tablet inscribed with the date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. She is an icon of freedom and is seen as a symbol of welcome to immigrants arriving by sea.
