QA438 - Theater civic complex in Valencia (Spain)
Fig. 438 (p. 536) - The cinema L’Hemisfèric and the opera theatre El Palau de les Arts are part of a civic complex in Valencia (Spain).
The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (City of Art and Science) started in 1996 in the city of Valencia (Spain). The ’Hemisfèreric’ (1998) and ‘El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia’ (2005) are respectively a cinema (with Imax-films and multimedia presentations) and an opera house, which is also suited for dance, theatre and music performances. The Musea de las Ciences (Science museum) and the Parque Oceanografica completed this cultural landmark as it was designed by the architects Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela.
