With the umbracle, the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava created an oversized portal of over 17,500 m² (320 meters long and 60 meters wide) as an entrance to the “City of Arts and Sciences”. On its top floor, it forms an open-air corridor lined with palm trees and other native plants, which is covered by 55 fixed and 54 floating white arches.

It is a public garden that is part of the City of Arts and Sciences. It consists of a series of parallel parabolic arches that cover an elongated and narrow garden of palm trees and other Mediterranean plants. The structure is made of white trencadís, a style typical of the buildings of Santiago Calatrava.
