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 ornamentation" in its "modernismo" or Romantic Eclectic architecture.[2]
