Welcome to Farmàcia Serentill, located at Carrer de Mar 23 in the center of Badalona. The business was founded in 1888 by Eduard Serentill i Tebé, who initially associated with Dr. Vergés, a pharmacist in the Dalt de la Vila neighborhood. The business eventually moved to its current location on the most commercial street in the center of the city.
The pharmacy's current appearance dates from 1924, when it was renovated by the Badalona architect Joan Amigó i Barriga to give it a Noucentista style. The interior is perfectly preserved, featuring a counter and entrance doors made of caoba, along with pine and mahogany cabinets. Behind the counter is a collection of glass pots in the back display case. The ceiling features a decorative plaster relief of flowers, and the facade is made of marble.
For four generations, the same family has managed the business. While they still prepare some 19th-century magistral formulas, they have expanded into parapharmacy products such as creams, hair treatments, and dietetics. In recent years, the family has expanded the staff to keep up with modern demands while maintaining the heritage of the establishment.
