La Maddalena is a church dedicated to St Mary Magdelene. The full name of the church is Santa Maria Maddalena, but this is very rarely used. It is served by the Priests Ministers of the Sick. It was built between 1669 and 1698 by Carlo Fontana and G.C. Quadrio. La Maddalena is the only true Rococo church in Rome. The Rococo façade was completed in 1735, and has since been completely restored. The stucco on the façade is referred to as "icing sugar" by some, and some wanted to rebuild it completely in Neo-Classical style.
