Tour the Santa Maria Novella pharmacy (historic herbal pharmacy)

Waktu terbaik untuk berkunjung

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.

Tips anggaran

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.

Direkomendasikan untuk

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

Tentang

Fakta cepat: Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella berdiri sejak lebih dari 400 tahun lalu, menjadikannya salah satu apotek tertua di dunia. Para biarawan Dominikan mulai membudidayakan rempah-rempah obat di sini pada abad ke-13, dan toko ini masih menjual resep air mawar dan potpourri asli dari tahun 1500-an.

Sorotan: Di balik fasad batu yang sederhana terdapat apotek Renaisans berfresko yang beraroma lavender, sage, dan resep air mawar berusia 400 tahun. Pengunjung menyesap teh herbal di bawah langit-langit berkubah yang dilukis dengan pemandangan Alkitab sambil melihat-lihat keramik yang berisi campuran herbal yang sama yang digemari kaum bangsawan Medici.

Tips orang dalam

  • 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.
