The interior, in particular the pattern of the vaulting, the delicacy of the cornices and the sweep of the pillars, strikes one immediately on entering. The eight windows in the lantern are given added effect by a drum on which scenes from the Life of the Virgin were painted in the 18th Century. In the cathedral's interior, the decoration is rich and elegant. The dome above the high altar is sumptously golden and polychromatic, the painting is the work of Juan Montejo. The choir situated in the main nave is by Alberto Churriguera. The Plateresque organ was built in 1568 by Damian Luis and the Churriguera organ dates from 1745.
