Saracen Pharmacy was established in 1897 by István Sipőcz on the ground level of the three-storey corner building. However, the pharmacy operated here only in 1764. On the facade above the entrance, there is the statue of a Saracen in a small niche. The niche above the door is filled with the name of pharmacist István Sipőcz. The neo-rococo interior is from 1897. The ceramic plates of the furniture complete with floral ornaments were made in Zsolnay factory, as well as the drinking fountain in the middle of the pharmacy. On top of the fountain, there is a figure of a standing Saracen boy. In the back rooms an exhibition shows a number of artifacts from pharmacy history of the area. Cultural Tourism center is opened since 2011.
