Colegiata de Santa María Magdalena, Baroque church in Cangas del Narcea, Spain.

The Collegiate Church features a single nave with side chapels, a transept, and a flat header topped by a central dome and two slate-roofed towers.

Between 1639 and 1642, architect Bartolomé Fernández Lechuga designed and built this structure to replace a 500-year-old Romanesque church at the same location.

The church received the status of Bien de Interés Cultural in 1982, marking its importance within Spain's architectural and religious heritage.

The building contains multiple family sepulchers, including those of the noble Queipo de Llano family who held significant influence in the Spanish royal court.

The main portal displays an arch featuring an image of Mary Magdalene and culminates in a tympanum decorated with Archbishop Fernando de Valdés's coat of arms.
