Three naves framed by columns on which pointed arches something alight.

The aisles are topped in armor under a canopy of carpanel trace except the head than it does on vault.

There are two dresssing rooms after having the church building; the fisrt to the head of the central nave of Baroque and a second trace of early XIX century (1808) decorated with rococo plasterwork.
