What to see in Florence? The Pharmacy of Santa Maria Novella!
Among the many curiosities that the city of Florence offers, not to be missed is a visit to the Officina Profumo Farmacautica di Santa Maria Novella, very close to the square of the same name and the beautiful church.
It is a historical environment and activity of the city of Florence that has its roots in the Middle Ages, back in 1221, when the Dominican friars began to extract pharmacopoeia products from the plants in the garden of their convent, to arrive today at excellent cosmetic products and very fragrant fragrances.
The rooms that house the Pharmacy are rich in history and art, which you can breathe in as soon as you enter. The smells, the colors, the shapes, the paintings, the taste of the furnishings, seem to take the visitor back in time.
It is a fascinating place, full of history, one of the oldest pharmacies still existing in Europe.
A fortune to have the privilege of having it in Florence and an opportunity not to be missed for any tourist who happens to be in the city.
