City of the Arts and Sciences - Valencia, Spain

avatar

Possibly one of the most well-known sights on tv and film within Scifi, it's become quite a prolific filming location for Hollywood and beyond.

From the BBC's Doctor Who to HBO's Westworld with a stopover via Disneys Tomorrowland, all have featured these amazing styled buildings.

L'Hemisfèric & Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía
First is the Imax theatre while the second is the Opera House

The Opera house is pretty domineering in the skyline and is around 14 stories in height. The house contains four auditoriums just to give an idea of its sheer volume of space.

Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe
The science museum within the complex has a focus on children-friendly exploration of science linked to stories. As well as a look into Mars, what discoveries can be found and how it differs from Earth.

L'Hemisfèric
The Imax theatre, but also offers more than this, by holding the planetarium within its structure.

Architecturally it can be noticed that it is a building within a building, with the glass structure surrounding the Imax theatre and Planetarium within.

L'Umbracle

What basically covers the car park keeping it hidden from view, we have the promenade which features a sculpture garden as well as many plant species known to the Valencia region.

The promenade looking towards the Opera House has sculptures placed along the length of it.

While to the other side the garden can be found with all the plants and trees placed within to provide a representation of the natural fauna of the region.

This place is simply beautiful, I had the opportunity to see it in a documentary and its architecture is impressive, your photos capture a lot of its details and essence, I would definitely visit this place if I went to Spain, great job.

Thank you Mili. It really is a stunning and impressive place to visit. Valencia itself is just worth seeing. There is a part I've not included in the set and that is the Aquarium, as I just focused on the animals there but it shows how expansive the complex is and all that it has to offer.

Love the city. Such a perfect usage of the old lake with all the greenery and such a broad variety of amazing restaurants in the city center and close to the beach. Thanks for sharing the views of the Science Campus 😀

It's a place I want to revisit. Never got to see it as much as I would have liked, but did manage to see the Plaça de la Reina in the early evening which was quite nice. But yeah, more is wanted, I must go back!
