XIII Century. The church stand on the top of a hill where there was a church dedicated to St. Basil built by the Camaldolese monks in the 11th Century. Church of Santa Margherita. The history of Margaret of Cortona (1247 - 22 February 1297) was an Italian penitent of the third Order of Saint Francis. She is the patron Saint of the falsely accused, hoboes, homeless, insane, orphaned, mentally ill, midwives, penitent, single mothers, reformed prostitutes, stepchildren, and tramps. After her death, the church of Santa Margherita in Cortona was rebuilt in her honor. Her body, once thought to be incorrupt, is preserved in a silver casket inside the church. Subsequent investigations showed that her remains were embalmed but that was forgotten with the passage of time. Margaret was canonized by Pope Benedict XIII on May 1728. The church was enriched by painting and sculptures especially of the Sienese school, of which today can see only poor remains.
