Santa María Magdalena, Tudela

Santa María Magdalena is a Romanesque-style, Roman Catholic church, located on calle Portal in Tudela, region of Navarre, Spain.

History

The church was erected in the second half of the 12th-century, perhaps at the site of a former mosque. The sculpted portal is elaborately decorated with biblical scenes and those of daily life. The bell-tower has a series of rounded arches. The interior has a 16th-century gilded retablo dedicated to Mary Magdalen. The chapels were built during the 16th and 17th centuries.

The church was made a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1983.[1]
