It has three naves, was built on a rectangular plan, has a presbytery not externally separated from the nave and closed rectangular. The main nave was built on a square plan. By the walls of the presbytery there are two sacristies corresponding in width to the aisles. On their upper floors there are collectors' boxes opening onto the presbytery through double windows.

      The interior is covered with a flat ceiling. The main nave is separated from the aisles by six arcaded pillars arranged three in a row, connected by a segmental arch. On the south side there is a music choir, suspended and supported by two pillars, decorated with a baluster balustrade (i.e. a vertical, decorative element supporting the balustrade). Inside, there is a classicist organ front made in the first half of the 19th century with the organ made in 1887. Inside, the upper parts of the walls of the central nave (above the aisles) and the walls of the presbytery are divided by pilasters (flat pillars with a head and a base, similar to columns). The interior is also decorated with a decorative cornice. The walls and ceiling of the temple are covered with geometric polychrome with floral motifs.
