Inside has a Latin cross plan, covered with a lunette vault and a segmental dome. It also has a baptistery and side chapels. In 1924 it suffered a fire, so the baroque decoration was replaced by the neoclassical decoration it contains today. In the Chapel of the Tabernacle there is a collection of oil paintings depicting the life of Jesus Christ; in another chapel there is an interesting gilded altarpiece in the Baroque Churrigueresque style.
