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.
