The upper level, meanwhile, is busy with pedestrians, local fishermen casting their lines, and a tram line running across the bridge. This mix of commercial, leisure, and everyday life activities makes the Galata Bridge a microcosm of Istanbul's bustling city life. As an architectural landmark, the Galata Bridge stands out with its unique design and its pivotal role in Istanbul's urban fabric. Since its construction in the 19th century, the bridge has undergone several reconstructions, each iteration echoing the city's evolving history and growth.
