Overview
Located at the western entrance of Stradun, this 14th-century Franciscan monastery houses a pharmacy operating since 1317 — Europe's third-oldest, still serving customers today. The beautiful Romanesque cloister, with its double columns surrounding a tranquil garden, is an oasis of calm. The museum displays old manuscripts, silverwork, and religious art alongside early pharmacy equipment. At the pharmacy, buy rose cream and lavender products made from original recipes as souvenirs. Admission about EUR 6. 1-minute walk from Pile Gate.
Travel Tips
The pharmacy's rose cream is a popular Dubrovnik souvenir. Linger in the peaceful cloister for a quiet moment.
