It has 3 aisles with an apse in each one of them, and a transept hardly noticeable from outside. Above the transept there is a dome held by horns. The most noticeable is the crypt, below the apse of the central aisle and of its same size, that is divided by two rows of columns splitting in three aisles covered by arris vaults. This church holds the tombs of the Cardona´s family. |
