The first document that mentions the church of Santa Maria Maddalena is from December 2, 1296 and it was the chapel of the castle Gradoli.
It was rebuilt in 1440 and in 1535 Pope Paul III declared it to be highly valuable.
In the second half of 1600 it was destroyed by fire and was rebuilt in Baroque style.
The façade is integrated with the bell tower and the main entrance has two columns and an arched pediment and the two side doors have a triangular pediment.
Inside it is divided into three naves and ends with an apse decorated in the early eighteenth century by Francesco Alippi and Luca Rubini.
The dark walnut pulpit is by German craftsman Matteo Siler "faber ligniarius excellens" and was not finished for the death of the artist who had taken refuge in Gradoli in 1678.
The confessionals, the choir, the processional street lamps and the sacristy date back to 1700.
