The Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty is a famous New York landmark, more accurately titled "Liberty Enlightening the World".

History

The Statue of Liberty was the site of Goliath and his clan's first battle with Xanatos in his gargoyle exo-suit. ("The Edge") Later on, during the time that Othello and Desdemona's souls were housed in Broadway and Angela's bodies, they spent some time here at the Statue of Liberty, during which time Iago's soul, housed in Brooklyn's body, eagerly tempted them to stay in the two young gargoyles' bodies. ("Possession")

Real-world background

The Statue of Liberty was built by the French and given to the United States in commemoration of the French assistance to the American colonists during the Revolutionary War, and was designed by Gustave Eiffel (the man responsible for the Eiffel Tower) and Frederic Bertholdi; it was raised on its present location on Liberty Island in 1886 and declared a national monument by President Coolidge in 1924.
