Urban spaces
Josep Miret Llopart’s marble sculpture, done in 1966, depicts a tender scene with the Benedictine friar placing his deaf pupil’s small hand on his chest so he can feel its vibrations, and the boy’s eyes concentrating on the movement of his teacher’s lips. Ponce de León was a pioneer in teaching children with hearing impairments to write.
The monolith behind them pays tribute to Juan Pablo Bonet, a pedagogue and the author of the first modern treatise on phonetics and speech therapy.
