Nobile Collegio Chimico Farmaceutico
Museum · Campitelli, Italy
The Roman pharmacists' college, in and above the church of San Lorenzo in Miranda inside the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina. It holds collections of pharmacy jars and mortars and a library with an online catalogue. Its site publishes no opening hours - only guided visits by booking - so plan ahead rather than turning up.
History
The college's own site records that on 8 March 1429 Pope Martin V gave the Corporazione dei Farmacisti Romani the collegiate church of San Lorenzo, erected inside the ancient Roman temple.
