Santa Maria Maddalena, Neoclassical church in Castiglione del Lago, Italy.

Santa Maria Maddalena is a religious building with classical lines, a symmetrical facade, and columns that reflect Roman architectural elements. The structure displays the typical features of Neoclassical design with balanced proportions throughout.

The church is documented from the early 11th century in imperial diplomas, independent of Farneta Abbey until 1184 and linked to San Gennaro di Campoleone from 1026. It became a pieve with a baptismal font in the early 14th century. The old church was demolished in 1763 by Bishop Amedei to make way for a cemetery. Giovanni Caproni designed the Neoclassical temple between 1836 and 1860; the pronaos was finished in 1868 and the bell tower in 1893.

The church stands on Via Vittorio Emanuele by Porta Senese, not on the main square. It was also called pieve e priorata, and a 1593 document records an altar of the Rosary, suggesting a Confraternity of the Holy Rosary existed here around the 1580s.

The building sits near Lake Trasimeno in the center of Castiglione del Lago and is easily reached on foot. Visitors can combine this stop with other cultural sites while exploring the Umbria region.

Fulvio Alessandro della Corgna, son of Ascanio II and Francesca Sforza di Santa Fiora, was baptized in 1589 in the earlier church on this site; he later became marquis and last duke of Castiglione del Lago (1617–1647). The old church had four vaulted chapels and seven altars before it was demolished in 1763.
