The proposal is part of a network of parks and recreational areas that make up the green strip along the Cabriales River in the city of Valencia. Creating an astronomical park in Valencia celebrates its ancient heritage, spotlighted by petroglyphs of solar eclipses, showcasing the city’s deep astronomical roots. This initiative will educate, connect generations, and boost cultural tourism, highlighting Valencia’s significant role in early astronomical observation.
The park’s centerpiece, a large sphere set atop an elevated triangle, embodies the “Real Facades Angles” concept, harmonizing with the site’s traffic flows, while the other component buildings aligned with the river’s setbacks.
