At the Santa Maria Novella Basilica Entrance

Discover the timeless beauty of Santa Maria Novella Basilica, founded by Dominican friars in the early 1200s. This architectural gem boasts a stunning Renaissance façade and overlooks the charming square that shares its name. Step inside and marvel at artistic treasures like Giotto’s “Crucifix,” Masaccio’s “Trinity,” and breathtaking frescoes by Filippino Lippi and Ghirlandaio. As you explore, you'll also hear the fascinating history of the mendicant order of friars who have long been a part of this sacred place.

Our journey continues through the serene "Green Cloister," adorned with Paolo Uccello’s striking green-hued murals. Dating back to the 14th century, the Dominican monks cultivated the land here, initially selling rose water as a disinfectant during epidemics. By the 16th century, under the patronage of Cosimo I de' Medici, the monks expanded their knowledge of natural sciences, cultivating medicinal plants and creating herbal remedies, essences, and balms.

Next, we’ll step into the renowned Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, established in 1612. Within these ancient halls, part of the original Dominican monastery, you'll be enchanted by the fragrant herbs and exquisite products that have made this workshop famous worldwide. The vaulted ceilings, adorned with magnificent frescoes, add to the allure of this captivating destination. Truly a "must-see" for anyone seeking history, art, and a sensory experience like no other!
