Planetari de Castelló, Planetarium in Castelló de la Plana, Spain
The planetarium features a white dome rising 25 meters above sea level, positioned along the Mediterranean coast at the beginning of the Maritime Promenade.
Opening its doors on May 8, 1991, this facility became the first planetarium constructed in the Valencian Community, establishing a center for scientific education.
The entrance area displays the sculpture 'La femella del mar' by local artist Juan Ripollés, alongside outdoor exhibitions including a wind rose and sundial.
The facility contains multiple exhibition halls across three floors, with the main planetarium chamber equipped with both Carl Zeiss optomechanical and RSA Cosmos digital projectors.
The building houses a Foucault pendulum in its lobby, demonstrating Earth's rotation through its perpetual motion pattern.
