Tourist attraction Pharmacy

👍 Founded in 1898, this elegant pharmacy, named after its founder, has now been turned into a museum and retains many of the original elements. It still works as a pharmacy as well. The ceramic and glass bottles symmetrically placed on the pharmacy shelves are noteworthy.

(Original) Fundada em 1898, esta elegante farmácia, cujo nome é o mesmo de seu fundador, hoje foi transformada em museu e conserva muitos dos elementos originais. Ainda funciona também como farmácia. Chamam a atenção os frascos de cerâmica e vidro simetricamente dispostos nas prateleiras da farmácia.

    Fajne miejsce, sprawiające wrażenie że w tej aptece czas się zatrzymał podobnie jak na całej Kubie😀 przed lokalem spotkać można lokalnych grajków

    El "Museo Farmacia Taquechel" està situat al carrer Obispo núm. 153, entre c/ Mercaderes i San Ignacio, al cor del "Centro Histórico de La Habana Vieja". Es un peculiar museu que mostra una amplia colecció de gerres de porcellana francesa del seglo XIX i útils de farmàcia i laboratori. L'antiga casa-vivienda va ser adaptada en 1898 per establi-hi un important farmàcia.

    (Translated by Google) IT'S NOT LIKE YEARS AGO ... MANY THINGS HAVE TOLD ME ... THAT IF THEY WERE STOLEN AND SOLD THEM ... THAT THEY PUT THEM IN A MUSEUM .... THE FACT IS THAT IN THIS PHARMACY I SAW IN 2002 THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY OF CERAMIC VASES DECORATED FOR USE PHARMACIST .... BEAUTIFUL AND ON WOODEN SHELVES CARVED IN SPECTACULAR GOODS ... AS IN MANY OTHER PLACES HERE IN HABANA THE TIME HAS STOPPED .... NOW BUT THERE ARE COPIES OF THOSE VASES AND EVEN SO WELL SUCCESSFUL (Original) NON È PIÙ COME ANNI ORSONO... MI HANNO DETTO TANTE COSE... CHE SE LI SONO RUBATI E VENDUTI... CHE LI HANNO MESSI IN UN MUSEO.... FATTO STA CHE IN QUESTA FARMACIA HO VISTO NEL 2002 LA PIÙ BELLA ESPOSIZIONE DI VASI IN CERAMICA DECORATI PER USO FARMACISTICO.... BELLISSIMI E SU SCAFFALI DI LEGNO INTAGLIATI A BUOSERIE SPETTACOLARI... COME IN TANTI ALTRI LUOGHI QUI ALL'HABANA IL TEMPO SI È FERMATO.... ADESSO PERÒ CI SONO LE COPIE DI QUEI VASI E NEPPURE TANTO BEN RIUSCITE

    Eine angenehm alteingerichtete Apotheke in der Obispo. Wunderschöne Holzvertäfelungen, alte Instrumente und bemalte Porzellan -und Keramiktöpfe aus dem achtzehnten und neunzehnten Jahrhundert erwarten den staunenden Besucher. Auch das beleuchtete Skelett hat sicher seine Fans.

    Racchiude la storia della farmacia a Cuba e merita la visita, naturalmente senza aspettative.

😐 As an American used to traveling to other Caribbean islands the terminal in Havana was a bit of a shock. No roof, poorly maintained and heavy on security. But the Cuban people were incredibly friendly and helpful and nearly everyone spoke at least passable English.
