But what really catches the eye are the coved coffered ceilings in the nave and choir. The central nave, covered by a barrel vault, has 72 coffered ceilings. The ceiling on the north side depicts scenes from the suffering life of Christ and the ceiling on the south side depicts the praises from the litanies of Loreto. The choir ceiling has 36 coffered panels.
The church was listed by royal decree on 25/01/1935.
