Havana Photo Gallery - Pharmacies in Vieja

Several beautiful pharmacies dot the streets, with 2 on Obispo, the city's main shopping street. Drogueria Johnson was founded in 1886 and moved to the present location on Obispo in 1914. What we see today is a restoration after a devastating fire in 2006. Not that far away is the next beautiful pharmacy in traditional decor. Farmacia Taquechel was founded in 1898 and was restored in 1996. Museo de la Farmacia Habanera occupies the old Farmacia La Reunion, which was founded in 1853 but closed when the revolution came. To avoid disappointment, always bring your own crucial medicines into the country. While these pharmacies look beautiful, the blockade probably has an impact on what they carry in stock.
