Igreja da Madalena, Church building in Santa Maria Maior, Portugal.

Igreja da Madalena stands in central Lisbon with a Late Renaissance facade and a Manueline portal from the 1500s that endured the earthquake.

The original church, constructed in 1150 over a Roman temple of Cybele, underwent three reconstructions after fire damage, a cyclone, and the 1755 earthquake.

The church ceiling displays paintings and sculptures by Machado de Castro, Portugal's leading sculptor from the 18th century.

Located at Largo Madalena 1, this church offers masses in multiple languages including English, Tagalog, Umbundu, and Kimbundu.

Four Roman stones from the 3rd century were discovered during construction in 1753 and integrated into the church's facade.
