Church of Santa María Magdalena, Romanesque church in Zamora, Spain.

The stone church displays a narrow rectangular nave leading to a semicircular apse, with four pairs of columns supporting the main entrance.

The Order of San Juan initiated the construction in 1157, and the building process continued through the early years of the thirteenth century.

The entrance capitals contain stone carvings of dragons with human and animal heads, while interior arches feature decorative laughing heads and carved tabernacles.

The church welcomes visitors daily with free admission between 10 AM to 1 PM and 5 PM to 8 PM on Rua de los Francos.

An anonymous woman's tomb rests inside the church, watched over by meticulously carved stone angels embedded in the surrounding walls.
