Tour the Santa Maria Novella pharmacy (historic herbal pharmacy)

Najbolje vrijeme za posjetu

Weekday mornings right when it opens at 9:00 AM to avoid cruise ship crowds that flood in after 11:00 AM. December weekdays are especially quiet before Christmas gift shoppers arrive.

Savjeti za budžet

Entry to the shop and museum is completely free. Watch the budget by skipping the gift shop impulse buys; a small bottle of rose water costs around 30 EUR, but you can smell everything for free.

Preporučeno za

Perfume and fragrance lovers, History enthusiasts, Solo travelers seeking quiet reflection, Souvenir hunters wanting authentic Florentine crafts

O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella datira više od 400 godina unazad, što je čini jednom od najstarijih ljekarni na svijetu. Dominikanski fratri počeli su uzgajati ljekovito bilje ovdje u 13. stoljeću, a radnja i dalje prodaje originalne recepte za ružinu vodu i potpourri iz 1500-ih.

Istaknuto: Iza neugledne kamene fasade krije se renesansna apoteka sa freskama koja miriše na lavandu, žalfiju i četiri stotine godina stare recepte za ružinu vodu. Posjetioci piju biljni čaj pod zasvođenim stropovima oslikanim biblijskim scenama dok razgledaju keramiku koja čuva iste mješavine bilja koje je voljela medičejska plemstva.

Insajderski savjeti

  • Head to the back room where you can sample their famous herbal liqueur, Liquore Antico, for a small fee that includes a tasting glass.
  • Photography is permitted, but skip the selfie stick and use natural light from the courtyard windows for warmer shots.
  • The potpourri counter lets you mix your own custom blend from 30 different dried herbs and flowers by weight.
  • Visit the small museum upstairs first to see original distillation equipment and medieval recipe books before browsing the shop floor.
