Visit a Medieval Pharmacy in Dubrovnik

Escape the buzz of the Dubrovnik by spending an afternoon exploring the Franciscan Monastery and its Old Pharmacy museum. Adorned with ornate cloisters, the monastery houses one of the world’s oldest pharmacies. Brimming with odd curios and antique jars, it’s still functional today: spot locals chatting to their chemist whilst holidaymakers gaze at the myriad of antiquities.

Choice artefacts from the pharmacy’s history are displayed in a museum, a charming exhibition that features medieval artworks and Renaissance manuscripts. A gorgeous courtyard dotted with orange blossom trees provides a lush retreat from the midsummer heat.
