The Church of la Magdalena is a Gothic structure in Torrelaguna, central Spain, begun in 1401 and later designated a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1983. Its plan comprises a nave and two aisles spanned by Gothic vaults supported by flying buttresses, between which are set side chapels containing movable retablos. The fifteenth-century bell tower, commissioned by Cardinal Cisneros, bears his coat of arms on its third floor alongside those of the town. A sixteenth-century entrance portal known as the "Portal of the Resurrection" blends Mudéjar and Renaissance styles, while the high altar was designed by Narciso Tomé, representing a later baroque intervention within this fundamentally Gothic edifice.
