The church rises on a rock outcropping of Serra d’Ivrea, close to the community in the Burolo municipality with the same name. The structure consists of three buildings: the church with a single rectangular room, finishing with a semi-circular apse; a room on the right, used as a sacristy today; the bell tower next to the facade with double access doors, connected to the other two sides by a wall. The wall between the bell tower and the sacristy delimits a small internal courtyard where it is assumed that there was an antique nave next to the church that has since disappeared. On the North side there is a walled late-roman tombstone (440 AD) that commemorates the shopkeeper Basilio. In the Sacristy there is a fresco that can be attributed to Domenico dellaMarca of Ancona workshop (XV century), showing Christ crucified between two penitent feminine figures of which one may be Mary Magdalene who the building is named after.
