Historian Pere Bel has recovered the memory of the old Morros Pharmacy in Rubí, an establishment founded in 1882 that shaped the local commercial landscape.

The research explains how the Morros family transitioned from a textile business to opening one of the most prominent pharmacies of the era. It was located on Sant Bonaventura street, now known as Maximí Fornés.
Founded by Pau Morros Coret, the pharmacy operated until 1935. The building was eventually demolished to make way for the construction of Montserrat street, marking the end of a long family tradition in Rubí.
