City of Art and Science. Incredible Architectural Complex in Valencia (Spain)
This set includes 81 high resolution photos (up to 5500 x 2900 px). City of Art and Science is progressive modern architectural complex in Spain. The complex is an ensemble of five areas in the dry riverbed of the now-diverted River Turia in Valencia, Spain.
Designed by Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava in collaboration with Félix Candela, and started in July 1996, it is an impressive example of contemporary architecture.

The "city" is made up of the following, usually known by their Valencian names:
El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía — Opera house and performing arts centre;
L'Hemisfèric — Imax Cinema, Planetarium and Laserium;
L'Umbracle — Walkway / Garden;
El Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe — Science museum;
L'Oceanogràfic — Open-air oceanographic park.

Surrounded by attractive streams and pools of water, it and the surrounding areas of the "city" are typically used as a relaxing place to walk day or night, with an open air bar outside El Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe during the evening (especially during events).
