Cultural heritage
This pharmacy first opened in 1842. Having changed hands several times until 1923, the pharmacy has been run by the Franquesa family ever since. It continues its inherited tradition of creating formulas using products of plant origin. It preserves original furniture typical of the period of Isabella II of Spain.
The window of this century-old pharmacy has framed bullet holes from a shootout on 26 January 1939, the day when the Spanish Civil War ended for the city of Barcelona. The bullets hit one of the pieces of furniture inside.
