Description

El Corn d'Or és un estuari i port natural que ha tingut molta influència sobre el desenvolupament de la ciutat d'Istanbul al llarg de tota la seva història. Aquesta ria estreta divideix el costat europeu de la ciutat en dues parts: la ciutat vella i la part de Gàlata. Té aproximadament 8 km de longitud, des de l'obertura extensa sobre el Bòsfor fins a l'entrada de la vall, on desemboquen dos rierols. És un port natural summament segur, on no existeixen ni marea ni corrents.

S'anomena així a causa de les terres fèrtils que antigament l'envoltaven, a la gran varietat de peixos i a la bellesa de la seva forma semblant a una banya. Al llarg de la seva història, 10 ponts van ser construïts per a unir les dues riberes, des del primer que va ser molt senzill durant l'època de Justinià I, fins als ponts d'ús militar construïts en el segle XV per Mehmet el Conqueridor durant el setge.
