Santa Maria Maddalena, Catholic church in central Treviso, Italy

Santa Maria Maddalena is a church on the small piazzetta Santa Maria Maddalena in Treviso's historic centre, near Porta San Tomaso. Its gabled facade is divided into three parts by plain pilasters crossed by a horizontal string course, with four windows, the portal and a plain rose window. Inside is a single nave with paintings attributed to Carletto Caliari, Antonio Beni, Giovan Battista Canal, Simone Forcellini, Jacopo Marieschi and Antonio Molinari, and an altarpiece of Noli me tangere attributed to the school of Veronese.

The original building was demolished in the early 1500s to make room for new city walls, and it was reconstructed at its current location in 1588. This rebuilding was part of the city's urban reorganization and reflected how religious spaces adapted to new planning.

The name comes from the patron saint depicted in a fresco above the portal tympanum, the only figure still legible among the traces of seventeenth-century painting on the facade. Inside, the altarpiece Noli me tangere is attributed to the school of Veronese, and the church holds canvases linked to Carletto Caliari, Antonio Beni, Giovan Battista Canal, Simone Forcellini, Jacopo Marieschi and Antonio Molinari.

The church is located near Porta San Tomaso and is easy to reach on foot with parking available nearby. It is best to visit during quieter times of day when access is less restricted and you can walk through the interior at leisure.

The bell tower's belfry opens through bifora windows with pointed arches. Inside, the organ was built by Beniamino Zanin in 1888 and later restored by his descendant Francesco; it has two keyboards and 23 real registers. Above the portal tympanum, a painted figure of Mary Magdalene survives from the 17th-century frescoes.
