Inside, the space is divided into three naves separated by pilasters and covered with vaults, creating a solemn, balanced and spacious atmosphere. The main fa\u00e7ade, structured by four pilasters with Ionic capitals and vegetal decoration, has a sober elegance, completed by a triangular pediment and an oval oculus above the entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 19th century, the <strong>bell tower<\/strong> was added by master builder Carlos Aboy, and the main fa\u00e7ade was modified with decorative elements inspired by Neoclassicism. Inside, the main altar is presided over by a beautiful altarpiece by the sculptor <strong>Jos\u00e9 Ferreiro<\/strong>, to whom several carvings preserved in the church are also attributed.
