The interior is sober but charming, with a focus on devotion to Our Lady of Perales.

The Arco de San Benito is an impressive monument in Sahagún, located in the region of Castilla y León, Spain. It was built around 1662 by the architect Felipe Berrojo to replace the old Romanesque portal of the Monasterio de San Benito. The arch is designed as a triumphal arch, under which the N-120 passes, and is also known as "la puerta de Sahagún" (the gate of Sahagún). The monument is richly decorated with a central shield, inscriptions and sculptures of Saints Facundo and Primitivo.
