The Church of Santa María Magdalena is located in the town of Quintana in the municipality of Corvera de Toranzo.
The Church of Santa María Magdalena already existed since 1573, since it is this date that is inscribed in the prayer dedicated to María Magdalena that says: NOVIS MARTINO, 1573 YEARS.

Perhaps its current factory is a remodeling or rebuilding carried out in the 17th century. Currently its walls are whitewashed, these being masonry, the plaster respects the ashlars that appear in the corners, arches, openings, buttresses and belfry.

Inside there is an altarpiece with the image of María Magdalena. There is also a table that is supposed to be a mortuary fountain where the offerings were placed. On it is carved a crowned figure with a chalice in hand surrounded by a cord with tassels at the ends. Under this there is an inscription that says: Saint Mary Magdalene prays for successive reforms and reconstructions.
