The pharmacy was founded in 1878 by Joan Surroca i Viñeta at Carrer de Mar, number 57. Over the years, it moved to number 46 and finally to its current location at number 76. At this site, the first pharmacy built was in modernist style, a work of Joan Amigó i Barriga. The later adaptation to Art Deco also appears to be the work of Amigó, who collaborated with artisans such as Corbero for metals, Blanch for furniture, and Crespo for mirrors.
La Farmàcia Surroca is an Art Deco work by Joan Amigó i Barriga located in Badalona. It features an important decorative set, especially on the facade, including a period sign, the use of marbles, and bronze framing with relief details. The shop receives overhead lighting and preserves original decorative elements inside, such as chairs and cactus-shaped ornaments.
The building contains a private garden inside. It was declared a Bé Cultural d'Interès Local in 1984.
