Amazing historic store with lots of history. You will see the original lab and what they’ve used in the 13th century. The Arts, sculpture and all of the decorations are unbelievable. Worth a visit even you are not buying anything.

This place is awesome. There are few halls inside the pharmacy, all with variety of their own products- creams, balms, perfumes, and even craft alcohol. There is also a tiny chapel with stunning frescoes. You might need to wait in a line for 15 min or so, as the venue is tiny.

We still had a great experience, but we had to initiate the process, which is probably because they're used to people exploring and not buying (I'm assuming). The lady who did help us was incredibly friendly and helpful. It just felt a little less personal than our previous experience at another...
