Santa Maria Novella Officina Profumo

Farmacia Santa Maria Novella

The Perfume-Pharmaceutical workshop of Santa Maria Novella, or Pharmacy of Santa Maria Novella, or Antica Spezieria of Santa Maria Novella, is located in Via della Scala at number 16 in Florence, in a part of the Monastery's complex of Santa Maria Novella

Today it is considered the oldest historic Pharmacy in Europe, being active continuously for over 4 centuries, as well as one of the oldest shops in the world: for this reason in 2012 an Italian philatelic issue was dedicated to it.
