Abstract

Among many pharmacies opened in Zagreb at the beginning of the 20th century, the Crvenom križu (Red Cross) pharmacy, with its owner Ladislav Gayer (1867-1939), holds a very special place. The pharmacy has been continuously active for more than a century (since 1903), and it is still one of the most representative and best preserved pharmacies in Zagreb. The course of events related to its location, construction, ownership and work continuity has been reconstructed based on archival sources and newspapers of that time. This paper emphasises the necessity of its protection as a unique historical monument of pharmaceutical and architectural heritage.
