Church of Santa Maria Madalena (Olivença)

Olivenza, Spain

Church of Santa Maria Madalena is a temple located in Olivenza, Spain. It was commissioned by King Manuel I in the 16th century, giving its name to the parish and the civil parish. Its construction was driven by Friar Henrique de Coimbra, Bishop of Ceuta, who celebrated the first mass in Brazil and is buried inside the church. It was partly inspired by the Convent of Jesus and the Elvas Cathedral. It became the seat of the Bishopric of Ceuta after Olivenza was included in the territory of this bishopric.
