Basilica of Santa Margherita

The basilica was dedicated to St. Margaret, patroness of the city of Cortona. The construction was completed in 1304, and in the 14th century it was decorated with a series of frescoes. The present church is the result of a reconstruction from the 19th century. Tourists can admire numerous works of art, including the marble tomb of St. Margaret and a crucifix from 1602.
