Discover the Hemisfèric
IMAX cinema and digital projections to feel adventures through spectacular images.
This is the largest hall in Spain to contain two systems projecting onto a concave screen of 900 square metres:
- Large-format cinema, IMAX Dome.
- Digital projections. Astronomical representations and entertainment shows.
The Hemisfèric was inaugurated in 1998 and was the first building in the City of Arts and Sciences to open its doors to the public. It is a spectacular construction designed by Santiago Calatrava, with an ovoid roof over 100 metres long that contains in its interior the large sphere that constitutes the projection room.
