The Galata Bridge is a bridge in Istanbul, Turkey spanning the Golden Horn. The bridge is located at the northern end of the Golden Horn, which separates the historic peninsula of Istanbul from the district of Beyoğlu on the European side. It is the only road connection between the two sides of the city. The current bridge was completed in 1994, replacing a bridge that had stood on the same site since 1912. The 1912 bridge was designed by French engineer Gustave Eiffel.
