Visit Parish Church of Saint Mary Magdalene in Menasalbas | TCLM

MAIN ATTRACTIONS

To the south of the province, in the Montes de Toledo, we find Menasalbas, surrounded by a natural beauty because it borders the Tagus River on one side and any the other with the Cerro Vicente and Corral de Cantos peaks. It guards inside its urban center a treasure in the form of the church of Saint Mary Magdalene, which unites the Gothic and Renaissance styles in an exceptional result.

WHAT WE’LL SEE

The church constructed in the 16th century was built to replace another of a more modest character. With colossal proportions, it consists of three naves and a polygonal apse with five sides. This, along with the first section of the nave covered by a Gothic ribbed vault are the oldest parts of the church. The visitor will also be impressed with the altarpiece dedicated to the Adoration of the Kings, in the center of which is also a beautiful carving of Mary Magdalene. During the Carlist Wars the church lost its tower.
