The church of Santa María Magdalena in Tudela, an outstanding example of Romanesque architecture, has a rich history and a sober but fascinating appearance. Its peculiar design, with an irregular nave and a flat apse, together with its sturdy structure and decorative elements such as the historic capitals, make it a monument of great artistic and historical value. In addition to its architectural importance, the church houses important works of art, such as the Plateresque altarpiece dedicated to Magdalena, which reinforce its spiritual importance as a place of devotion and worship in the city of Tudela.
Over the centuries, the church of Santa María Magdalena has witnessed the faith and devotion of generations of believers, maintaining its role as a spiritual meeting place and place of Christian worship. Its long history, from its origins as a Mozarabic temple to its successive transformations and additions, reflects the continuity of religious tradition in the region. It is also very likely that St. Ignatius visited St. Mary Magdalene during his pilgrimage. As part of Tudela’s cultural heritage, this church is a tangible link to the past and a symbol of faith rooted in the community, serving as a sacred space for the celebration of religious rituals and the search for spiritual transcendence.
