Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy in Italy

The oldest operating pharmacy in the world, featuring 800 year old recipes

 

The Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy is probably the oldest still-operating pharmacy in the world, and certainly the oldest in Italy. It was established in 1221, when the Dominican monks from the adjacent Basilica of Santa Maria Novella began growing herbs to make balms, salves and medicines for their infirmary. The superior quality of their products became widely known, and in the 17th century, the pharmacy opened its doors to the public.

Today the pharmacy still uses the traditional preparation methods, and still carries products using the original recipes of the monks. Especially of note is the Aceto dei Sette Ladri, or Seven Thieves Vinegar. These smelling salts got their unusual name from a band of seven men who robbed corpses during the plague. They were said to have doused themselves in the strong vinegar to protect themselves from the plague.
There is also a small museum, with somewhat irregular hours, which features antique terra-cotta apothecary jars, however the best antiques are already on display in the shop itself.

 

Dubrovnik home to the oldest working pharmacy in Croatia

Within the the Old City of Dubrovnik sits the Franciscan Monastery, a sight already on many must-see lists. Yet what lies inside the monastery often doesn’t receive the full attention it deserves. We’re talking about the Old Pharmacy. This pharmacy is indeed an aged wonder–it’s the third oldest in all of Europe and the oldest pharmacy still in use on the continent today.

Originally opened in 1317, the Old Pharmacy has been in operation for over 700 years. It’s not just working as a historic sight-to-see nowadays. Anyone with an ailment can still stop in to purchase medicine. Many of the pharmacy’s original objects, like stone bowls, ancient lab equipment, ceramics and medical books, are on display in the monastery museum, yet the containers set on its shelves are still in their original spots and date back to the 15th century.

DELHOUSIE UNIVERSITY CANADA

At Dalhousie University’s College of Pharmacy, you’ll join over 360 undergraduate and graduate students in our mission to enhance health through pharmaceutical education, community service and research.

You might think of the pharmacist as wearing a white lab coat and standing behind the drugstore counter. But pharmacy as a profession has undergone a dramatic shift in recent years. Today, it's much more patient focused.

Pharmacists now take medication histories, identify goals for drug therapy, provide education to patients regarding medications, make recommendations to other healthcare providers about drug therapy, prescribe medications, give vaccinations and much more.

The College of Pharmacy gives students the knowledge and skills to provide drug therapy which improves patient health. The program's core curriculum is offered by problem-based learning (PBL), and supported by other types of courses including Critical Appraisal Series (CAS), Practical Experience Program (PEP) and Skills Lab.
With over a century of history behind us, we’ve had time to build a strong international reputation and solid programs that provide everything you’ll need to start your new career.
We’re also accredited by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs (CCAPP), giving your degree the credibility you’ve earned.
"The Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy program of the College of Pharmacy at Dalhousie University has been awarded the status of Full Accreditation by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs for a three year term 2016-2019."
