Tour the Santa Maria Novella pharmacy (historic herbal pharmacy)

Najboljši čas za obisk

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.

Nasveti za proračun

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.

Priporočeno za

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

O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella sega več kot 400 let nazaj, kar jo uvršča med najstarejše lekarne na svetu. Dominikanski menihi so tu začeli gojiti zdravilna zelišča že v 13. stoletju, trgovina pa še vedno prodaja izvirne recepte za rožno vodo in potpourri iz 16. stoletja.

Poudarki: Za nevsiljivo kamnito fasado se skriva s freskami okrašena renesančna lekarna, ki diši po sivki, žajblju in 400 let starih receptih za rožno vodo. Obiskovalci srkajo zeliščni čaj pod obokanimi stropi, poslikanimi z bibličnimi prizori, medtem ko brskajo med keramiko, v kateri so enake zeliščne mešanice, ki so bile priljubljene med medicijsko plemstvo, in jih imajo radi še danes, kot v času Medičejev.

Notranji nasveti

  • 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.
