AmsterdamLa Cité des arts et des sciences (La Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències en valencien, Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias en castillan) est un complexe culturel basé à Valence (Espagne).


Le complexe, dessiné par l'architecte et ingénieur Santiago Calatrava, ainsi que Félix Candela, fut inauguré le 16 avril 1998 avec l'ouverture de L'Hemisfèric. Le Palais des arts Reine Sofia, fut présenté le 9 octobre 2005, jour de la Comunidad Valenciana. Le Pont de l'Assut de l'or a été inauguré le 11 décembre 2008. Le dernier élément de la Cité des arts et des sciences, l'Ágora, a été inauguré en novembre 2009.


Après une inondation en 1957, le lit de la rivière Turia traversant Valence avait été dévié. Depuis les années 1980, la partie correspondant au centre-ville avait été transformée en jardins et lieux de promenade pour les citadins. L'embouchure de cet ancien lit offre le site de construction contemporain de la cité des sciences. Le complexe s'étend sur une surface de 350 000 m².


La Cité des arts et des sciences s'organise autour de trois thématiques principales : les arts, les sciences et la natureBlue HourAnother Euston road view from above, angle towards Euston Station.Blue Hour in Barcelona
