In the game
The brick fort under the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge is in the game.
History in brief
The Army finished the fort in 1861 to guard the Golden Gate. The bridge’s engineer, Joseph Strauss, redesigned the southern approach with an arch so the fort could be saved.
The place today
Free to visit, with views up into the bridge’s underside.
