16 Apoteket Lejonet or Pharmacy Lion in Malmö, Sweden

Old architecture often tells its history and the Teschska Palace is a beautiful example. At the top is a relief of the Rod of Asclepius (a serpent entwined on a rod). This is the Greek symbol for healing and medicine. Next to it is 1896, the year this was built for John Tesch whose bust appears below the date. As a pharmacist, he used the lion as his brand. Today it is still called Apoteket Lejonet or Pharmacy Lion. Among the other magnificent reliefs are cherubs who are performing pharmaceutical tasks.
