#Onthisday in 1933 construction on the Golden Gate Bridge began. The Golden Gate Bridge, an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco, is painted in "International Orange" color to provide enhanced visibility for passing ships. Did you know that the Golden Gate Bridge is not named for its color but for the body of water it crosses, the Golden Gate strait? Have you visited this popular tourist destination?
