2. Drogueria Sarra
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 24 reviews
This art nouveau pharmacy is short on drugs but long on design. Founded by a Catalan apothecary in 1874, it was built in the elaborate modernist style universally favored by 19th-century pharmacies. The carved wooden racks and shelves backed by murals painted on glass are especially ornate, and the ceramic apothecary jars, though probably empty, are colorfully painted. Also known as La Reunión (note the inscription on the wall behind the counter), this pharmacy was a famous meeting place, a sort of informal neighborhood clubhouse. COST: Free. Weekdays 9-5.

4. Iglesia Y Convento De La Merced
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 33 reviews
Although it was begun in 1755, this church and convent complex wasn't completed until the 19th century. Hence you can clearly see a progression of architectural styles, particularly in the facade, with its six starchy-white pillars and its combination of late-baroque and early neoclassical elements. Inside are numerous works by 19th-century Cuban painters. COST: Free. Mon.-Sat. 9-5, Sun. 9-1.
