Cardona Pharmacy Madrid

Since its establishment in 1883, Cardona Pharmacy in Madrid has been an enduring symbol of tradition and healing. Founded by Pedro Herranz, the pharmacy’s lineage can be traced back even further, as it proudly appears on the list of pharmacies established in Madrid in 1833. Today, the Cardona brothers, María Paz and Jesús, carry on the legacy, faithfully attending to the pharmacy’s esteemed clientele.

A sight to behold, Cardona Pharmacy greets visitors with its enchanting interior. The dark wood structure features elegant arcades adorned with golden garlands, while a medallion proudly displays a bust of Galen, paying homage to the rich history of medicine. At the entrance, an arch frames a central table crafted from wood and marble, surrounded by antique shelves, delicately painted in white.

Steeped in heritage, the pharmacy was once the domain of the renowned Doctor Garrido, who possessed his own laboratory for crafting remedies and magisterial formulas. Even during the tumultuous Civil War, when the premises were expropriated by the CNT, Cardona Pharmacy remained open to serve the public, exemplifying its unwavering commitment to healthcare.

In a seamless fusion of tradition and modernity, an adjacent space has been transformed into a herbalist, intricately connected to the pharmacy. Contemporary furnishings grace this extension, providing a harmonious blend of old-world charm and contemporary convenience.

Cardona Pharmacy Madrid stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of healing, spanning over a century. Within its walls, customers are not only welcomed by the expertise of the Cardona brothers but also immersed in the rich tapestry of history and the pursuit of well-being.
