It can be difficult to wrap your head around the City of the Arts and Sciences. The attraction is a staggering ensemble of ultra-modern structures that are given an ethereal quality by the reflecting pools that surround them. The whole thing was started in the mid-90s and the finishing touches were made in 2005. Within these gargantuan buildings are cultural venues and first-class family attractions like L’Hemisfèric, a planetarium and IMAX Cinema, or the breathtaking L’Umbracle, a botanical collection of plant species native to Valencia.

Ciutat de les Arts i les Cliencies and the museums group nearby are really the epitome of modern architecture. Even without much know-how about architecture, you just stand in awe and get infatuated with them. Wow … wow … wow … that is the response of the spectators
