The central altar structure features statues of angels and saints flanked by tall columns and intricately carved panels, with a domed architectural element and a framed stained-glass or painted panel behind it. The walls and curved apse are covered with large frescoes or paintings depicting robed figures and angels, surrounded by decorative moldings, pilasters, and sculptural niches containing more figures. Ornamental balustrades, cherubic sculptures, and elaborate ornamental carvings appear along the altar steps and lower panels, while decorative cornices, medallions, and relief scenes fill the side walls. Dark wooden benches and high-backed carved seating line both sides of the space, and the floor in front of the altar shows patterned stone or tile. The overall scene presents dense baroque ornamentation and layered architectural detail captured in a uniform monochrome tone.
