Sažetak
According to archival and secondary
sources, the Upper Town pharmacy is the oldest pharmacy
in the city of Zagreb. The beginnings of its work are
historically related to the document of 6th March 1355,
which for the fi rst time mentions the profession of a
pharmacist, i.e. a lawsuit between the apotecarius Jakmo
(Jacobus) and a furrier.
On the occasion of the 650th anniversary of this document,
which marks the beginning of work of Zagreb’s oldest
pharmacy, i.e. Apotheca Civitatensis ad Aquillam Nigram, we
present its history, chronology of ownership, and locations
throughout the past. The pharmacy is still situated in the
historical Upper Town, and is one of Zagreb’s most valuable
cultural and tourist attractions. This paper emphasises the
importance of its conservation and maintenance, as well
as the importance of raising the public awareness of the
history and signifi cance of pharmacy as a neglected part of
the overall national heritage.
