City of Arts and Sciences

The City of Arts and Sciences is a great recreational centre for scientific and cultural dissemination.

It is an avant-garde architectural work worldwide destined to become the emblem of the XXI century of the city of Valencia and the entire Valencian Community. Two internationally renowned architects have participated in this great complex: Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela. The first is the design of the Palace of Arts -where artistic, musical and theatrical performances will be accommodated-, The Hemisfèric -with shows by Cine Imax Dome, Planetarium and Laserium-, the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum -to learn in an entertaining way the advances of science and technology- and The Umbracle, a garden area that covers the car park with the best views of the complex. Félix Candela owes the unique roofs of the main buildings of L’Oceanogràfic, an underwater city to discover the secrets of the depths. The City of Arts and Sciences is a firm commitment to the future of the Generalitat Valenciana, a place to learn while having fun and enjoying Art, Science and Nature.

The City of Arts and Sciences covers an approximate area of 350,000 m2. Located on the old Turia riverbed, next to the El Saler motorway exit.
