The Statue is not surrounded by any city.

It is in NY Harbor and is bounded to the west by Jersey City, NJ, on the northeast by the boro of Manhattan (NYC), to the southeast by the boro of Brooklyn (NYC).

The French name of the statue of Liberty is "la statue de la Liberté". Her internal frame was built by Gustave Eiffel, who also built the Eiffel tower in Paris, France.

Ellis Island is a different Island. The Statue is on Liberty island- formerly known as Bedloe Island. The Statue has a bolted together iron frame, and copper sheets attached to the frame. It was shipped to the US in pieces, and assembled here.

Liberty Island but before it was called bedlos.

She is Copper, over the years corrosion has took it's toll on her turning her into the shade of Green we see today...

Torch : The torch is the strongest symbol that Bartholdi incorporated into the Statue. In fact the Statue's real name reflects its true meaning: "Liberty Enlightening the World".

Crown: The statue wears a crown with seven spikes. This represents the 7 seas and 7 continents of the world, re-enforcing the universal concept of liberty.

Tablet: The Statue holds a tablet in her left hand. It is a book of law based on the founding principles of this

nation, a nation based on law.

Writing on the Tablet: The Statue's tablet contains writing on it. This was one of the last changes that Bartholdi made to the Statue. It was originally left blank. Bartholdi placed the date of America's independence on the tablet ( JULY IV MDCCLXXVI ). They are in roman numerals which are symbolic of law.

Windows of the crown: ( 25 ) Represent the heaven's rays of light that shine over the 7 seas and continents.

Shape of the Tablet: Do you know what the tablet's shape is called? It is a keystone. In architecture, a keystone is the stone which keeps the others together. Without it everything would fall apart. The keystone of this nation is the fact that it is based on law. Without law, freedom and democracy would not prevail.

Sandals: The Statue of Liberty actually wears sandals. She is also not standing still. Even though the Statue stands on a pedestal, she is actually walking ahead moving forward. This goddess is lighting the path to freedom through peace, not violence. Her footwear also suggests her stature as a free person.

Robe: The Statue of Liberty wears a free-flowing robe or stola, which powerfully refers to the Roman influence of the goddess "Libertas", which was worshipped by freed slaves.

Broken Chains: Located at the Statue's feet symbolize the freedom that Lady Liberty has. It demonstrates that the Statue is free from slavery and bondage.

Shields: Richard Morris Hunt made some representations in his pedestal design as well. He placed shields on each side of the pedestal symbolizing the states in the Union.

Originally brown because it was made of copper but because of erosion the entire statue is now a pale green color.

The flowing robe is based on the Roman goddess of liberty, Libertas!

The torch stands for freedom and to follow what you want and to chase your dreams.

The Statue of Liberty is this tall so that people can see it from afar. It was also built this large because it was important.

If you mean the windows over the head, they are designed to look as part of the crown worn by the liberty lady and provide us with a view when you visit the statue and climb up the round staircase to the top.

I can see no indications of such in the Wikipedia Article.[1]

In transit, the Statue was reduced to 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates. The Statue was re-assembled on her new pedestal in four months time.

On the statue of liberty, Miss Liberty is carrying the torch in her right hand.

Because her left hand is busy holding a tabula ansata.
