City of Arts and Sciences - and yet another reason to visit Valencia

The City of Arts and Sciences (La Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències) is a 5-part complex in the heart of Valencia biult by Valencia's own Santiago Calatrava. Built along the dried Turia riverbed which runs through the city center, each of the parts was designed to host a different aspect of arts and sciences. Highlights include the Hemisfèric - an IMAX cinema, the Umbracle for its panoramic views, the Prince Phillip Science Museum, and the Oceanográfico, which boasts the largest aquarium in Europe.  Visiting the complex is a great way to spend a day, with temporary events and expositions complementing the already impressive array of possibilities for the visitor.
