Fatih Sultan Mehmed had a bridge built as well and that bridge was used for walking across to be able to conquer Istanbul in 1453, but both of them were temporary. The first permanent bridge was discussed in the years between 1502-1503. Sultan Bayezid II demanded a plan from Leonardo da Vinci, however, The Sultan did not approve the design and this project was shelved. That bridge would be the longest bridge of its time. Also, The Sultan demanded a design for Galata Bridge from another Italian architect Michelangelo, but this time the architect declined the offer. That&#8217;s why that project was postponed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_227\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-227\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-227 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/resim_2023-04-23_144359344.png\" alt=\"Galata Bridge\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/resim_2023-04-23_144359344.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/resim_2023-04-23_144359344-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/resim_2023-04-23_144359344-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/resim_2023-04-23_144359344-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/resim_2023-04-23_144359344-696x464.png 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Galata Bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first permanent bridge, Hayratiye Bridge was built by the command of Sultan Mahmut II, between the years of 1808-1839. It was connecting Azapkap\u0131 and Unkapan\u0131. However, that bridge&#8217;s life was not long enough, and broke down in 1912. In 1845, Cisr-i Cedid was built during the period of Sultan Abd\u00fclmecid. It was the first modern Galata bridge. It was used for 18 years, and an officer was collecting fees to cross the bridge. Over the years Cisr-i Cedid Bridge was replaced by new bridges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second Bridge was built by Ethem Pertev Pasha under the command of Sultan Abd\u00fclaziz and started to be used in 1863.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the issue of building the third bridge, Ottomans and a French company had been compromised, however, the war had erupted between French and Germany. That led to postponing the bridge project. The project was abolished, and a new project was put into action in 1872 with an English firm <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G. Wells. That bridge was completed, and it was used for 37 years, and in 1912 it was moved to upper Golden Horn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fourth bridge was built by the German firm MAN AG in 1912. The bridge was 466 meters long and 25-meter lengths. In 1992 a fire broke out and the bridge was burned. After repairing the bridge, it was moved to another location. Now that bridge is called Old Galata Bridge among locals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fifth one is Galata Bridge which we use today. It was built by the STFA Group in 1994. It is 490 meters long and bascule bridge. It opens up to 80 meters. It has a three-lane road, a pedestrian way, and a trolley line. This bridge is one of the rare bridges which has a trolley line on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cultural_importance_of_Galata_Bridge\"><\/span><b>Cultural importance of Galata Bridge<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not only a multi-functional bridge, but it also carries some kind of cultural heritage.
