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.

In its aisles are the Dolorosa and the Heart of Jesus Christ. Both images occupy two separate dressing made in rococo style. In the central and culminating the central altarpiece Christ is locatted in the Green Band, revered by Almachareños Christ as a protector who have great devotion.
