Farmacia Serra is a building close to the plaza of Bayamón, Puerto Rico which was built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. [1]

It was the first in a chain of Serra drugstores eventually opened by Luis Serra. He and his family lived upstairs. [2]

It was the site of tertulias, meetings "of the town's politicians and intellectuals to discuss the latest events and decide what action could be taken." [2]

It has "exhuberant [ sic] ornamentation" in its "modernismo" or Romantic Eclectic architecture. [2]
