Following the conclusion of a year's repairs, tourists will be able to climb up into the crown of the Statue of Liberty starting Sunday.

But access to the crown, reached by a tightly spiraled staircase going up the interior of the monument, will be limited.
"It is sold out for one month. There are 315 visitors per day allowed," Katie Lawhon, a spokeswoman, said.
The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France to America, is this country's iconic symbol of freedom and immigration. It closed for upkeep exactly a year ago after celebrating its 125th anniversary.
The $27.25 million renovation aimed to improve the stairway into the crown and add safety devices and other modern requirements.
