Tour the Santa Maria Novella pharmacy (historic herbal pharmacy)

Najlepší čas na návštevu

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.

Tipy na rozpočet

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.

Odporúčané pre

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

O

Rýchle fakty: Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella existuje viac ako 400 rokov, čo z nej robí jednu z najstarších lekární na svete. Dominikánski mnísi tu začali pestovať liečivé byliny v 13. storočí a obchod stále predáva originálne recepty na ružovú vodu a potpourri zo 16. storočia.

Zaujímavosti: Za nenápadnou kamennou fasádou sa skrýva freskami zdobená renesančná lekáreň, ktorá vonia levanduľou, šalviou a 400-ročnými receptami na ružovú vodu. Návštevníci popíjajú bylinný čaj pod klenutými stropami so zmalovanými biblickými scénami a popritom pozeriajú keramiku, ktorá drží tie isté bylinné zmesi, ktoré obľubovala šľachta z rodu Medici.

Insiderské tipy

  • 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.
