Over the crossing there is a large ribbed dome, which is the highest point at the center of the building, with a octagonal shaped base and a skylight. This is a splendid meticulously elaborated gothic altarpiece which partly conceals the little rose window behind. The temple is a Latin cross church, the chancel being raised several steps above the nave, and it's there where a large gilded reredos is located. Over the side chapels there is an upper storey looking onto the central nave through large cemicirulars arches having a stone balustrade on their lower parts. The vaults of those chapels are arris ones. The side chapels, constructed in the XVI century, communicate with each other through semicircle arch passages. The nave in question is considerably high, and it's covered with a ribbed vault. Once inside one can realise that it's a single nave church. It has an octagonal shape and it's on the left hand side of the building looking at its entrance from across the street. The four stained glass windows are also very aesthetic as well as the carving of a flame pointed arch ending with a fleuron. The whole in that portal is of a great beauty thus revealing its elaborate manufacture. There is also in that part of the façade some sculptural decoration whose more interesting segment is perhaps the pediment reproducing a scene of St. It's a several point arch shaped portal gradually decreasing in size, the outerest one being profusely decorated with foliage whose highest point consists in a fleuron depicting Christ on the Cross. The entrance to the temple consists in a monumental portal flanked by two pillars each one of them also ending with a pinnacle. That gothic style façade consists of three well defined sections separated from one another by elegant semidetached columns topped by two beautiful pinnacles, one for each. In spite of that limitation some nice and artistic elements on the main façade can be observed. The street where the church lies is rather narrow, what prevents one from having a good perspective over the church. In the thirties of the nineteenth century, on the occasion of a legally arranged confiscation of the Church assets, the convent was torn down and just the church remained this turned up into St. Afterwards and during the seventeenth century they enlarged the outbuildings and built around the convent. After longer than one century the trinitarians set up a community there. That church was initially a temple dating back to the end of the fourteenth century dedicated to the Very Saint Trinity.
