Spain. Designed by Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava and
started in July 1996, it is an impressive example of modern
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.
