Golden Gate Bridge, which recently celebrated 75 years, is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific Ocean.
As part of both US Route 101 and California State Route 1, the structure links the city of San Francisco, on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, to Marin County.
It is one of the most internationally recognised symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States.
