Franciscan Monastery Museum and Old Pharmacy

The Franciscan Monastery museum near the Pile Gate preserves objects from the old Friars Minor pharmacy, whose history dates to 1317. Reached from the cloister, the museum displays historic pharmacy equipment alongside paintings, jewellery and liturgical vestments. Look for mortars, precise scales and handwritten recipes that reveal how medicines were prepared. Check the monastery’s official visitor information for current admission and visiting arrangements.
