'''L'Umbracle' (), part of the City of Arts and Sciences complex in Valencia, Spain, is a sculpture garden and landscaped walk with plant species indigenous to Valencia (such as rockrose, lentisca, rosemary, honeysuckle, bougainvillea and palm trees). It harbors in its interior The Walk of the Sculptures'', an outdoor art gallery with sculptures from contemporary artists (Miquel of Navarre, Francesc Abbot, Yoko Ono and others). The Umbracle is a space that is a home to numerous sculptures surrounded by nature. 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. L'Umbracle was completed in 2001.
