Basilica of St. Margaret

Highlight • Religious Site

The church stands at the top of the hill in an enchanting position. On the site of the current church there was a small church built by the Camaldolese monks in the 11th century and dedicated to San Basilio. The church was damaged during the Sack of Cortona in 1258 and rebuilt in 1288 by Santa Margherita and was dedicated not only to San Basilio, but also to Sant’Egidio monaco and to Santa Caterina d’Alessandria. Santa Margherita, in a room at the back of this small church, lived the last years of her life and died there in 1297. She was buried in the small church of San Basilio. Immediately after Margherita's death, the Cortonese, next to the small church, built a larger church based on a design by Giovanni Pisano and in 1330 they moved the body of the Saint into it.
