The Church of St. Margaret of Antioch is named after St. Margaret (in the Orthodox tradition - St. Marina), the patroness of women in childbirth. The church is located in one of the oldest districts of Florence and only 20 meters from Dante's house. It is believed that the church of St. Margaret was the parish church of the Donati family, and here Dante Alighieri married Gemma Donati.

A small church better known as the "Church of Dante and Beatrice". It is said that it was here that Dante first met his secret lover. Inside the church you can see the tombstones of the Beatrice-Portinari family. Finding a church is not easy. Turn off from Piazza Duomo (Stone Dante area) onto Via Della Studio, cross Via Del Corso, and enter via Santa Margcherita. Don't rush or skip. Look to the left and look for a sign with the name of the church (Di Santa Margcherita Dei Cerchi). 5-10 minutes to look is enough.
