L'Umbracle

L'Umbracle (Valencian: [lumˈbɾakle]), part of the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències (City of Arts and Sciences) complex in Valencia, Spain, is a sculpture garden[1] and landscaped walk with plant species indigenous to Valencia (such as rockrose, lentisca, rosemary, honeysuckle, bougainvillea and palm trees).

It was designed by Santiago Calatrava as an entrance along the southwestern edge to the City of Arts and Sciences and as a cover over its car park.

[2][3] The plants in the garden were carefully picked to change colour with the seasons.

There are 42 varieties of shrubs from the Region of Valencia including cistuses, mastics, buddleia, pampas grass, and plumbagos.

It also has 5,500 ground cover plants such as lotus, Spanish flags, and fig-marigolds.
