Florence|A Unique and Historic Pharmacy

Florence boasts a pharmacy with an artistic flair that could easily be mistaken for a museum or church. Originally a monastery, this shop has a history dating back to the 13th century when monks began cultivating herbs and creating ointments and creams using ancient recipes. In the 17th century, under the suggestion of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the pharmacy opened its doors to the public. These secret recipes have been passed down through the generations, leading to the development of a wide range of natural care products. Known for their use of pure, natural herbs, their products have an excellent reputation. Perfumes and shower gels are particularly popular, making this pharmacy a top choice for souvenirs in Florence. Even if shopping isn't your thing, it's highly recommended to visit and take a look around. 📍 SMN Historic Monastery / Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella 🏦 Business Hours: 09:30-20:00
