Tour the Santa Maria Novella pharmacy (historic herbal pharmacy)

Parim aeg külastamiseks

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.

Eelarvenõuanded

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.

Soovitatav

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

Teave

Kiired faktid: Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella ulatub üle 400 aasta tagasi, muutes selle üheks maailma vanimaks apteegiks. Dominikaani mungad hakkasid siin 13. sajandil ravimtaimi kasvatama ning pood müüb tänaseni originaalseid roosivee ja potpuri retsepte 1500. aastatest.

Esiletõstmised: Tagasihoidliku kivifassaadi taga peitub freskodega renessansiapteek, kus on tunda lavendli, salvei ja 400 aasta vanuste roosivee retseptide lõhna. Külastajad rüüpavad taimeteed piiblistseenidega maalitud võlvlagade all, sirvides samal ajal keraamikat, milles hoitakse samu ürdisegusid, mis meeldisid Medici aadlikele.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

  • 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.
