A Unique Art Deco Pharmacy: La Farmàcia Surroca in Badalona

Step inside La Farmàcia Surroca in Badalona to admire its impressive Art Deco facade and discover its unique private garden.

La Farmàcia Surroca is a Local Cultural Heritage site in Badalona, Spain, designed by Joan Amigó i Barriga in 1878. With an Art Deco facade, it features decorative elements including marbles, bronze framing with relief details, and an inscription. The original decorative elements from the Rationalist period remain inside, such as the chairs and cactus-shaped decorative items. What sets La Farmàcia Surroca apart is its private garden, an unusual feature for a pharmacy. Although it began as a modernist building, it was later adapted to the Art Deco style at the architect's own direction, with the help of artisans Corbero, Blanch, and Crespo. It was declared a Local Cultural Heritage site in 1984.
