Information

This pharmacy, founded in 1578, it is well-known with this name because queen Maria Cristina used to appoint here her medications in the XIX century. Has been restored in 1913 by modernist architect Carrasco-Muñoz Encina, being one of the most remarkable example of the modernist style in Madrid.

It features his little library and the formulas of some “miraculous remedies” as the red-brown cream for baldness and the mummy bits as a remedy against tubercolosis.
