The authorization, preserved in the Rubí Museum Archive, details that Pannon had completed his studies at the Faculty of Pharmacy and passed all theoretical and practical subjects. As a requirement of the time, under the absolutist reign of Fernando VII, he had to swear an oath to “defender el Misterio de la Purísimi Concepción de la Virgen María nuestra Señora” and “ser fiel al Rey N. S.”.
To freely exercise Pharmacy and all cases and things pertaining and concerning it, and to establish a public Pharmacy in any of the Cities, Towns and places of the domains of H. M.
The most relevant part of the 1826 document was the one granting him the right to practice the profession without restrictions. This license allowed the founding of the pharmacy on Xercavins Street (currently closed) in 1827 as a “public pharmacy”.
During that period, prior to the rise of Queen Isabel II and the implementation of free trade, it was the Rubí City Council who granted licenses or leases for local establishments, such as bakeries or inns. Thanks to the success of the business, Agustí Pannon was able to purchase the entire building where the pharmacy was located in 1860. The establishment was later passed on to his son-in-law, Gabriel Gener.
