Night Walk City of Art & Science, Valencia in 4K
The City of Arts and Sciences is situated at the end of the former riverbed of the river Turia, which was drained and rerouted after a catastrophic flood in 1957. The old riverbed was turned into a picturesque sunken park.
The complex is made up of the following buildings, in order of their inauguration:
• L'Hemisfèric (1998) — an IMAX Cinema, planetarium and laserium.
• El Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe (2000) — Is an interactive museum of science that resembles the skeleton of a whale.
• L 'Umbracle (2001) — an open structure enveloping a landscaped walk with plant species indigenous to Valencia.
• L'Oceanogràfic (2003) — an open-air oceanographic park, designed by Félix Candela.
• El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia (2005) — an opera house and performing arts centre.
• El Pont de l'Assut de l'Or (2008) — a white cable-stayed bridge crossing the dry Turia riverbed.
• L'Àgora (2009) — a covered plaza in which concerts and sporting events (such as the Valencia Open 500) are held
