City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia Spain
Spain is known for its churches and its typical Spanish building style, however there are exceptions. In Barcelona Gaudi has created lovely houses but Valencia has it own great architecture in the City of Arts and Sciences. Although the buildings are modern, I really liked it there, due to the beauty of the place and of course the royal history. The City of Arts and Sciences is the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia and one of the 12 Treasures of Spain. The area is designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela. Santiago Calatrava also is the architect who designed the railwaystation of Liège-Guillemins in Belgium see on this link .
