Chapel <strong>of</strong> St. Mary Magdalena,<br />
Mala Gorica<br />
Constructed in the mid 18th century at the site<br />
<strong>of</strong> an earlier wooden chapel from the mid 17th<br />
century, this Baroque structure has a quatrefoil<br />
layout and a narrow sanctuary ending in an apse.<br />
A small bell tower stands above the main facade.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main altar, originating from the old parish<br />
church in Sveta Nedelja from 1600, is <strong>of</strong> significant<br />
value. This altar represents the only preserved<br />
altar from that period in the area: wooden, two<br />
stories high, gold plated and polychromatic, with<br />
five sculptures, an altar pale and a painting <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Blessed Virgin Mary.<br />
