A bold tribute to the City of Arts and Sciences and Birthplace of Paella on the Turia where Valencia, the third-largest city in Spain and the capital of the Valencian Community on the Mediterranean coast where the Turia River once flowed before being diverted after catastrophic floods in 1957, creating the extraordinary 9-kilometre green linear park that runs through the heart of the city and culminates in the City of Arts and Sciences, the futuristic cultural complex designed by the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava and the engineer Felix Candela whose gleaming white titanium and concrete structures including the Hemisferic, the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia opera house, the Museu de les Ciencies Principe Felipe, and the Oceanografic, the largest aquarium in Europe, have made Valencia a global landmark of contemporary architecture, where Valencia is the birthplace of paella, the saffron-infused rice dish cooked in a flat pan over orange wood that originated in the rice paddies and orange groves of the Valencian huerta and has become Spain's most internationally recognized culinary contribution, and where Las Fallas, the spectacular March festival during which hundreds of enormous satirical sculptures, the ninots, built over months by Valencian craftsmen are paraded through the streets and then burned in a night of pyrotechnic magnificence, was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2016.
