Also worth a visit is Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, an old-fashioned chemist housed in a frescoed chapel. This chemist was founded by monks in the 17th century and sells lotions, potions and herbal remedies in elegant packaging. And then there are, of course, the jewelry shops at the Ponte Vecchio. The Florence shops have been a part of this bridge since the 12th century. Last but not least we can recommend Coin, the most varied department store of Florence.
