Description

The Physical Geography Map published in 1880 in the Paluzie collection is a cartographic and educational document that reflects the desire to spread scientific and geographical knowledge among the Catalan population. This map, for school use, shows the physical configuration of the territory and is part of a pedagogical project with a clear European vocation, aligned with current educational trends. Its inclusion allows us to show how geography became a tool for building territorial and citizen awareness, in tune with the European values ​​of knowledge and progress.
