The Basilica of Santa Margherita is located in the highest part of Cortona and is dedicated to the city's patron saint. Built between the 13th and 14th centuries, it houses the relics of Saint Margherita and is an important place of worship, as well as a significant example of Tuscan Gothic architecture.

From the basilica and the nearby lookouts, you can enjoy a splendid view of Cortona and the Val di Chiana.
