The City of the Arts and the Sciences is situated at the end of the old riverbed Turia. Turia became a garden in 1980, after the bypass of the river by the great flood of Valencia in 1957.
Designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, the project underwent the first stages of construction in July, 1996 and the finished "city" was inaugurated April 16, 1998 with the opening of L'Hemisfèric.
L'Hemisfèric shelters a planetarium and a theater for Omnimax screening.
The building has the shape of an eye which symbolizes the opening to the world.

You do get to see some amazing places. This is a very interesting structure. It reminds me of Laci's insect images! And #3 brought Art Deco to mind. Did you go inside? I would love to see the interior. SADHYA · 2010-05-12: 12:02
