It is a place of scientific and cultural leisure, built at the end of the 21st century by the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava.

It stretches around 2 kilometres along the old Turia riverbed. It has several buildings that have become icons of the city: 

Hemisfèric: Built in 1998, it is the «oldest» building. It is an IMAX cinema where it is possible to watch digital projections.
Umbracle: a beautiful viewpoint with gardens.
Príncipe Felipe Science Museum: with a multitude of activities to interact with the world of science and technology.  
Oceanogràfic: the largest aquarium in Europe, inaugurated in 2003, with more than 500 marine species. We can find different marine environments such as the Mediterranean Sea, oceans, Tropical Sea, Red Sea, islands, the Arctic and Antarctica. 
Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia: inaugurated by Queen Sofia in 2005 and that is why it bears her name. Here we can find four auditoriums: two for theatre and chamber music, the other two for large concerts, operas and ballets.
Ágora: a multifunctional space where celebrations such as congresses, conventions, concerts and performances are organised.

All these buildings aim to entertain and stimulate the minds of visitors through science, technology, nature and art. The City of Arts and Sciences has become one of the major focal points of cultural dissemination.
