Statue of Liberty
It is one of the most famous monuments in New York and around the world. It is located on
Liberty Island south of Manhattan Island, adjacent to the
mouth of the Hudson River and near Ellis Island. The
Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French to Americans
in 1886 to commemorate the centennial of the United
States Declaration of Independence and as a sign of
friendship between the two nations. It was inaugurated on
October 28, 1886 in the presence of the American
president of the time, Grover Cleveland. The statue is the
work of the French sculptor Frdric Auguste Bartholdi
and the internal structure was designed by the engineer
Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. The French architect Eugne
Viollet-le-Duc was in charge of the election of the cobras used for the construction of the statue.
On October 15, 1924, the statue was declared a national monument of the United States and
on October 15, 1965 Ellis Island was added.
Golden Gate Bridge
It is a suspension bridge located in California, United States, that connects the peninsula of San
Francisco by the north with the south of the county of Marin, near Sausalito. Golden Gate is
also the name of the strait in which the bridge is
built, and receives its name from the strait in
Constantinople, also called the Golden Gate, since it
communicated Europe with Asia. The Golden Gate
is the most famous bridge in San Francisco despite
not being the largest in this city, as the Bay Bridge is
the main thoroughfare. In the decade following
World War I, traffic in the San Francisco Bay area
multiplied by seven, so that the ferry system was
unable to absorb that growth.

Monte Rushmore
It is a monumental sculptural ensemble carved between
1927 and 1941 on a granite mountain located in Keystone,
South Dakota (USA) featuring the 18-meter-tall faces of US
Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore
Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. They were sculpted by the
Danish-American sculptor Gutzon Borglum and his son,
Lincoln Borglum. This monument commemorates the birth,
growth, conservation and development of this nation. The
Mount Rushmore National Memorial is 5.17 km in extent.
Between 1927 and 31 October 1941, Gutzon Borglum and
400 workers carved the 18-meter colossal busts of US Presidents George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln representing the first 150 years of United
States history . The gypsum models and the tools that were used in the construction of the
sculptures are still there.

Bryce Canyon National Park


It is a national park of the United States located in the southwest of the state of Utah. Despite
its name, Bryce Canyon is not properly a canyon but a large
natural amphitheater formed by erosion. Bryce stands out
for its unique geological structures, called the fairy chimney,
which were formed by erosion caused by wind, water and
ice. The colorful play of the rocks, red, orange and white
recreate spectacular views. Bryce is higher than the
neighboring Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon. The
average elevation is between 2400 and 2700 meters above
sea level. However, the southern part is at 2100 masl.
Because of this variety of dimensions, ecology and climate vary greatly from one area to
another, offering dramatic contrast.
