Santa Maria Maddalena, Lodi

According to tradition, an ancient Roman temple dedicated to Hercules was present at this site.

[1] A later, newly built church, dedicated to Mary Magdalen, is recalled as having burned in a town fire in 1162.

A new Rococo church was started in 1719, the choir fully roofed in 1732, the bell-tower added in 1751.

The main altar houses a venerated medieval crucifix, attributed to the Blessed Giacomo Oldo Lodigiano.

An altarpiece of the Crucifixion is by Robert De Longe, called il Fiammingo.
