Campanario Iglesia parroquial Santa María Magdalena - Almendral, Badajoz, Extremadura, España - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

Espadaña a los pies del edificio, de doble vano de arco de medio punto, con dos campanas, construido en ladrillo y de arquitectura mudéjar, finaliza con otro vano de arco de medio punto sin campana y cruz latina de hierro.

"La parroquia de Santa María Magdalena, de mampostería encalada, resulta de traza menos pesada.
Sobre los costados ostenta cinco arcos de atractiva composición, portada granítica con vistosas gradas por delante en el lado del Evangelio, y espadaña a los pies, resaltando el cimborrio de la capilla de San Mauro, en la que se conservan las reliquias del titular.

El interior es de tres naves sobre elegantes columnas y arcos apuntados, con cubiertas abovedadas que anteriormente fueron de madera. Numerosos retablos de buena factura decoran las naves, distinguiéndose en particular el mayor, obra del XVIII realizada por el llerenense Núñez Barrero el Viejo. Sobre el muro colateral derecho apareció en 1993 un fresco representando una Virgen bizantinizante, atribuido a Antón de Madrid".

Bell gable at the foot of the building, with a double semicircular arch, with two bells, built in brick and Mudejar architecture, ending with another semicircular arch without a bell and an iron Latin cross.

"The parish church of Santa María Magdalena, made of whitewashed masonry, is less heavy in design.
On the sides, it boasts five attractively composed arches, a granite doorway with striking steps in front on the Gospel side, and a bell gable at the foot. The dome of the Chapel of San Mauro stands out, housing the relics of the patron saint.

The interior has three naves supported by elegant columns and pointed arches, with vaulted ceilings that were previously made of wood. Numerous fine altarpieces decorate the naves, the largest being particularly notable, an 18th-century work by Núñez Barrero the Elder from Llerena. On the right side wall, a fresco depicting a Byzantine Virgin, attributed to Antón de Madrid, appeared in 1993."
