Antoni Maria Alcover’s bronze portrait stands above a stone dedication from Manacor, remembering one of Mallorca’s most influential collectors of language and stories. A priest and linguist, Alcover gathered the traditional tales known as rondalles mallorquines, preserving stories passed down through generations. He also initiated the Diccionari català-valencià-balear, later continued by Francesc de Borja Moll. His legacy connects everyday speech, local storytelling and the written record of island culture.
