The Bosphorus Bridge, also popularly known as the “First Bridge,” due to its being the first bridge to be constructed over the Bosphorus, is a suspension bridge that connects Asia and Europe via a highway between Ortaköy and Beylerbeyi.

As a matter of fact, the story of the construction of the first bridge over the Bosphorus is to some extent mythical.
