Chiesa di Santa Margherita
Wriggle up through a sleepy warren of steep cobbled lanes in the eastern part of Cortona to the largely 19th-century Chiesa di Santa Margherita. The remains of St Margaret, the patron saint of Cortona, are on display in an ornate, 14th-century, glass-sided tomb above the main altar. It’s a stiff climb, but worth it.
