Museo delle erbe dei Monti Ernici

About the museum

The Museo delle Erbe in Veroli is dedicated to the wild flora of the Monti Ernici, rich in medicinal plants with a long tradition of use. It holds samples of native herbs, each with its scientific classification by family, genus and species according to the Linnaean system and, where available, its popular name, which helps to understand the traditions, uses and characteristics of the plants.

Popular traditions linked to plants are an important cultural heritage, as they recall a past when plants were a resource for household and craft economies. The link with medicinal use is illustrated by an exhibition of old tools and preparations used in folk and official therapy, an attempt to document the history of medicine and pharmacy that, according to the Pro Loco, may be unique in Lazio.
