Let's begin with the central nave. You can notice straightaway that the architecture is quite Gothic, and that there are two distinct parts: the nave (where we are now) and the apse beyond the transept. This is not only because the latter is completely frescoed but also because there is a different Gothic style. The nave area appears quite spacious marked by two solemn arches on either side. Above these, on both the right and left there is a balcony, which accompanies the central nave, entering the transept. The numerous funeral monuments are as equally striking as the remnants of decorations and paintings that cover pillars and other spaces and mostly originate from the XV-XVII centuries. Nowadays, we often prefer to see churches cleaned up of this encrustation of the past.
