The Golden Gate Bridge is an iconic suspension bridge located in San Francisco, California. It spans the Golden Gate Strait, the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.
Construction of the bridge began in 1933 and was completed in 1937, making it one of the most recognized landmarks in California. It was designed by engineer Joseph Strauss and architect Irving Morrow. At the time of its completion, it was the longest and tallest suspension bridge in the world, with a main span of 4,200 feet (1,280 meters) and a total height of 746 feet (227 meters).
The bridge is named after the Golden Gate Strait, which was named by American explorer John C. Frémont in 1846. The "golden gate" refers to the strait's resemblance to a golden gateway to the American West.
The Golden Gate Bridge is renowned for its distinctive orange-red color, officially known as International Orange. It has become an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and the United States as a whole. The bridge serves as both a major transportation route and a popular tourist attraction, offering stunning views of the city's skyline, Alcatraz Island, and the Pacific Ocean.
