Church of Mary Magdalene is a church and a monastery that was built in 1885-1888 by the Russian Czar Alexander III as a commemoration for his mother, Empress Maria Alexandrovna of Russia, in the traditional tented roof Russian style, including seven onion shaped golden domes.
The church contains the relics of the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna of Russia.
The Church of St. Mary Magdalene is probably the most conspicuous house of worship in Jerusalem. It owes its prominence to the presence of seven gilded, onion-shaped domes jutting out from a monumental Muscovite-style body that stands proudly against the sky.

Maria Magdalene (Mary Magdalene) is a the Russian Orthodox Church located on the Mount of Olives, in the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem, Israel.
The church is dedicated to Miryam of Migdal, a follower of Jesus. Maria Magdalene was the first to see Christ after he was resurrected, and was a crucial and important disciple of Jesus, and seemingly his primary female associate, along with Mary of Bethany, whom some believe to have been the same woman. From a distance what you see of St. Mary Magdalene are its memorable bulb-like cupolas. But if you enter the closure in which it is found and climb the steps to the church, you discover that the building is as remarkable as its domes. Indeed, the palatial exterior features a mind-boggling variety of styles and decorations that is fascinating to behold. Although it appears to be made of marble, the facade is actually a stunning, sculpted white sandstone.
Classic, with Roman-style arches, the first story of the magnificent structure has solid, graceful lines. Above the main entrance, located on the second level, is a gabled roof trimmed with a pseudo-lace design. A circular blue mosaic depicting Mary Magdalene piously robed in white is framed in gold within the gable.
