L’Oceanografic Best Aquarium in the World

L’Oceanografic is located in Valencia, Spain, and is the largest aquarium complex in all of Europe. The aquarium is located in an exhibition hall called the City of Arts and Sciences and contains nearly 2 million gallons of water. The aquarium is home to approximately 45,000 different animals representing 500 species. Some of the most popular animals in the exhibit are dolphins, rays, penguins, sharks, walruses, beluga whales, and sea lions. The water in the saltwater tanks is pumped in directly from the Mediterranean Sea. As impressive as the exhibit is, the building’s exterior is no less stunning as it was designed by Felix Candela and is impossible to miss.
