Church of St. Mary Magdalene

Administered by the Russian Orthodox Church in Jerusalem, this church was designed by David Grimm and built in 1886-88 by Czar Alexander III in memory of his mother, Empress Maria Alexandrovna.

Salviati made the medallion of St. Mary Magdalene that is located above the entrance.
