La Maddalena, Neoclassical church in Cannaregio, Venice, Italy
The circular plan of La Maddalena follows the design principles of the Pantheon in Rome with four side chapels and a central presbytery.
Construction of La Maddalena began in 1760 under architect Tommaso Temanza, replacing an earlier structure from 1222 owned by the Balbo family.
The entrance portal contains masonic symbols that connect to the history of the Knights Templar through the Balbo family association.
The church maintains its function as a religious center in Venice, conducting services and ceremonies throughout the year in the Cannaregio district.
A 15th-century bas-relief of Madonna with Child remains preserved on the exterior apse wall of the church building.
