The interior of the church is organized in a classic style unit, from the organ to the pillars decorated with parisons and to the altar with choir columns. Of the 3 rows of fortification walls from the 15th century, some remains of the outer wall and the second wall are preserved. The interior wall is fully preserved with five towers and bastions and with the buildings supported from the inside, with two levels, intended for storing supplies.
