Galata Bridge

Galata Bridge in Istanbul spans the Golden Horn between the old city and Beyoğlu, with its upper deck lined with dozens of fishermen casting their lines at any hour of the day or night. The bridge is one of Istanbul's most characteristic sights, and the seafood restaurants on its lower deck offer front-row views of the Bosphorus and the old city skyline with its mosques and minarets. The current concrete bridge dates from 1994 but the crossing has been a vital Istanbul link since Byzantine times.
