Golden Gate Bridge Looking north, from San Francisco to Marin County. The world's best-loved bridge is recognized everywhere as a symbol of San Francisco. Built in 1937, the 1.7-mile suspension span was designed to withstand the forces of nature, including gale force winds and earthquakes. Over 40 million vehicles a year make the crossing.
