When magnificent art and churches tire, take a break in this medicinal plant museum inside 18th-century Palazzo Bourbon del Monte . Exhibits provide a fascinating insight into the relationship between man and herbs from prehistoric times to present, with rooms dedicated to mortars, weighing scales, glassware and antique books chronicling ancient remedies. In the Poison Cellar deadly ingedients were skillfully crafted into medicinal remedies.
