Charging Bull is a famous bronze sculpture in New York City's Financial District, depicting a bullish symbol of financial optimism and prosperity. Created by artist Arturo Di Modica after the 1987 stock market crash, the 7,100-pound sculpture stands 11 feet tall and draws thousands of tourists daily. Originally placed illegally outside the New York Stock Exchange, it was later moved to Bowling Green where it became a beloved icon. Visitors often pose for pictures with the bull, rubbing its nose, horns, and even its testicles for good luck. The sculpture's popularity has made it one of the most recognized symbols of Wall Street and a must-see attraction in NYC.
