About the artwork

Valencia's Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía is one of the most impressive buildings within the City of Arts and Sciences (Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias). Designed by renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, this futuristic opera house opened its doors in 2005 and has since become an iconic symbol of modern architecture.

The Palau de les Arts stands out for its unique and dynamic design, reminiscent of a giant ship or a futuristic helmet. The building is clad in glossy white mosaic tiles, which create a stunning effect in sunlight. The interplay of curved lines and sharp angles gives the building a sculptural look, which is characteristic of Calatrava's work. The surrounding water and green areas enhance the visual impact of the design, giving the impression that the building rises out of the water.

Inside, the Palau de les Arts features four different stages, including a large opera hall and a concert hall, making it one of the most advanced cultural centres in Europe. It is home to the Valencian Orchestra and offers a varied programme of opera, ballet, theatre and concerts.

Its location on the banks of the surrounding water and proximity to other iconic structures such as L'Hemisfèric and the Museu de les Ciències make the Palau de les Arts a popular location for photographers. The combination of art, architecture and nature offers a breathtaking image that perfectly captures the heart of Valencia's cultural life.
