The church of Santa Margherita is a religious building of medieval origin overlooking Via San Francesco in Padua.

Dedicated to St. Margaret of Antioch, it owes its present architectural forms to interventions by Tommaso Temanza and perhaps, Domenico Rossi. Until 1797 it was the "Abbey" of the Gradenigo family; it is currently an oratory subject to the parish of San Francesco Grande.
