Pharmacy in Uherské Hradiště

The façade with sgraffito decorations particularly aroused my curiosity. It looked as if it was stretching over two different buildings. I discovered an answer to my question in the National Register of Cultural Monuments.

The core of the Renaissance building was rebuilt in the middle of the 18th century. It was not until the end of the 19th century that houses no. 148 and no. 149 were connected by a Renaissance façade. Inside, you find Baroque paintings. The glazed arcades were once open.
