Inside of the sanctuary is ornately decorated; the sculptures and paintings are of a high quality. The beautiful pulpit made of tecali, a volcanic stone similar to marble, and the four paintings of the pendentives with the four apparitions of the Virgin are worthy of admiration. The painting of the Virgin was made by José de Alcíbar in the second half of the 18th century.
