The Sator Square is a word square containing a Latin palindrome featuring the words SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS written in a square so that they may be read top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top, left-to-right, and right-to-left. The earliest known appearance of the square was found in the ruins of Herculaneum." source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sator_Arepo_Tenet_Opera _Rotas
Questa iscrizione si trova su una pietra della facciata di san Pietro ad Oratorium nel comune di Capestrano, una chiesa molto antica costruita anche usando materiale di recupero da costruzioni romane antiche

Any magic square can be made into a magic multiplier square (where the product of the entries of any row, column, or diagonal multiplies to the same constant) by using any non-zero number as the base (here we used 2) and use as exponents the numbers in a magic square. This works because a raised to the b+c power equals a raised to the b power times a raised to the c power.

Some latin squares and graeco-latin squares can be made into a magic multiplier square by using two or more relatively prime positive integers (here 6 and 5) and coding the latin or graeco-latin square letters and numbers as we have done here with A replaced by 6 to the 1st power, etc.

Here row and columns products give the same constant but diagonals do not, illustrating that not all graeco-latin squares become magic multiplier squares.

Magic Square of Christ

Magic Square of Christ, originally uploaded by jacQuie.k.

The Magic Square is a recurring motif in the Temple. It was designed by Josep María Subirachs and holds over 200 ways to derive the number 33, the age of Christ at the time of the Passion. A fun mathematical achievement, though I noted it's not a "normal" magic square (because some integers are repeated).

No new magic squares only possibly a new way of seeing relationships between entries. Any city views of buildings or other physical views like any of these?
