View Original Description
Il Giardino di Santa Maria Novella is the garden for the Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella (aka Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy) in Florence, Italy. The pharmacy is the oldest pharmacy in the world.
In the hills of the Castello district of Florence, opposite the Medici Villa della Petraia at Via della Petraia 38/F, the gates of the new garden of Santa Maria Novella open onto a paradise of 15,000 sqm, proposing an ancient tradition inherited from the Dominican monks: the hortus conclusus, which the friars cultivated around their monastery back in the 13th century.
