⛪ Igreja Matriz de Santa Maria Madalena: A Historic Treasure of Stone and Faith

The Igreja Matriz de Santa Maria Madalena is an impressive historical landmark, built in the 19th century using stones from Morro da Estação. Funded by the local population and Barão de Madalena, its imposing 52-meter-high structure features a 2.3-meter weather vane, crowning its tower. Since its first mass on July 22, 1892, the church has been a symbol of faith and tradition in the city.

Over the years, it has undergone renovations, including tower reinforcement and the installation of a custom-made clock from São Paulo. Despite modern upgrades, its original architecture has been preserved, remaining a cultural and religious icon of Santa Maria Madalena. Come and experience this historical and spiritual gem! 🙏✨
