Evening Galata bridge. Istanbul

Hi friends! Evening Galata bridge is beautiful! Tourists are happy to make evening walks! Many sights of Istanbul are called the hallmark of the city. One of these objects is considered to be the Galata bridge. It connects the two banks of The Golden horn Bay. On one side is the Fatih area, and on the other side — Beyoglu (Pera) both these areas are very ancient and rich in attractions. The building of The new mosque is a reference point for finding the Galatian bridge. An integral part of the modern view of the Galata bridge are also hundreds of boats, ferries and boats, which from morning till night sail, or are moored at Eminonu pier. Most of these boats are owned by travel agencies that organize excursions to the Bosphorus. Galatian bridge is often called fish. Tourists prefer to walk on it on foot. On the bridge you will always find fishermen, and at the bottom of the bridge - a few fish restaurants with excellent service and relatively inexpensive prices. The Galata bridge in Istanbul has been rebuilt several times throughout history. The modern fifth version was built in 1994 by the Turkish company STFA, after the previous construction, built in 1912 by the company "MAN", burned down. Galatian bridge is quite low, so it seems that it is a kind of a whole city on the water. The realization that you are standing on the bridge comes only when the tram goes over the bridge, and the bridge begins to swaying slightly. If you decide to admire the panoramic beauty of Istanbul from a bird's-eye view, the best observation deck than located on the Galata tower, you will not find. From the height of the most bright and clear view of the Old city. In many religious beliefs of soul after death on a bridge crosses the space that separates the two worlds — earthly and post-mortem. Covered by the tongues of the flame of hell, virtuous people cross the bridge easily, but the wicked fall down from it, into the infernal flame. In Islam, this bridge is thinner than a hair and sharper than a knife blade, so sinners slide off into hell, and the righteous reach Paradise sooner or later, depending on the degree of their righteousness. These views illustrate the duality of the symbolism of the bridge, which not only connects the divorced part, but also is the object of overcoming: the bridge can not get to the other side. In the evening, the walk turns out very colorful. Many ships, all lit up with lights. Very nice! You can see all the surroundings of the city and nearby mosques. Galatian bridge has an amazing past and an interesting present. Everyone should be here
