The Michelin Guide's review
Treat yourself to a tour of the peaceful Franciscan monastery. The late Romanesque cloister (1360) is the epitome of elegance and the museum boasts some outstanding sacred artefacts, such as the procession cross by John of Basel (1440) and the reliquary of the head of St Ursula. It is also home to the oldest pharmacy in the country (and 3rd in the world), founded in 1317 and still open to this day. Located in the western gallery of the cloister, it sells skincare products made on site.
