Yes. Capital letters are used for proper nouns, which are specific things with given names, rather than one of several similar but unspecified things. Proper nouns can be used for people (e.g. Richard Nixon), places (e.g. New York City, the Rocky Mountains), and things (e.g. the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building). Capital letters are generally not used for units of measurement named after people (watt, newton).
Another point of view:
No, using capital letters is not what makes 'Statue of Liberty' a proper noun. The compound noun 'Statue of Liberty' is a proper noun because it is the name of a specific thing. A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing.
You can't depend on a capitalized word as always being a proper noun, or that a noun not capitalized must be a common noun because so many people don't stick to the rules. You really need to know a proper noun when you see one, whether its capitalized or not.
For example, BTW is not a noun, it's an acronym. Acronyms are capitalized. Or you may see a big sign on a building that says jiffylube, which is a proper noun but the lower case logo is a trademark of JiffyLube International Inc.
No, the noun 'statue' is a common noun, a general word for a carved, molded, or cast image of a person or thing; a word for any statue of any kind.A common noun is capitalized only when it's the first word in a sentence.A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place or thing; for example, the Statue of Liberty or Michelangelo's Statue of David.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing. A proper noun for the common noun 'landmark' (or 'famous landmark) is the name of a famous landmark; for example, The Taj Mahal, The Statue of Liberty, or The Eiffel Tower.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing. If you are referring to a book called 'The State of Liberty' or 'The State of Liberty Book', the title of a book is a proper noun, the name of a specific thing. If you are referring to the book that is held in the left hand of the Statue of Liberty, it is not an actual book. It is a tablet inscribed inscribed with the date of the signing of the Declaration of Independence written Roman numerals (July IV, MDCCLXXVI). Note: The compound nouns 'Statue of Liberty' and 'Declaration of Independence' are both proper nouns, the names of specific things. The noun 'July' is a proper noun, the name of a specific month.
