CITY OF ARTS AND SCIENCE

The City of Arts and Science is an entertainment-based cultural and 

Architectural complex in the city of Valencia, Spain. 
Undoubtedly one of the high lights of our trip.

The complex is made up five buildings.  Developed by the

world famous architect SANTIAGO CALATRAVA.

 

L'Oceanografic an open- air oceanographic park.  It is the

largest aquarium in Europe.  It was built in the shape of a water lily.

This was so fabulous and deserved more time than we had since we wanted to see 

everything.

L'Hemisteric an IMAX Cinema Planetarium and Laserium.  The

building is meant to resemble a giant eye.

El Museu de les Ciencies Principe Felipe is an interactive

Museum of science that resembles the skeleton of a whale.

We could have spent days here, what a wonderful place to

discover science.

The place is not without it 's controversy.

It has become a symbol of profligate spending, financial

mismanagement and waste, due to large cost overruns

and a large debt burden that the regioniIs struggling under.

But with that all being said we loved it and wish we could have spent 

more time there.  I recommend it highly.  Here is the link to their official

web site ARTS AND SCIENCE.
