Square section of ceiling composted of four vaults connecting to form an X, with the X shape being angular ribbing, painted in red with intricate geometrical designs. The vaults have the same starry background as the main nave ceiling, and each one has a round seal depicting a certain biblical angel: (from inscriptions) St. Michael the Archangel, St. Gabriel Archangel, St. Raphael Archangel. Last one illegible.

The church has large square columns supporting Roman arches, above which are large arched windows supporting a vaulted ceiling. This is the view of the apse, where the line of columns and these other features curve. Through the columns and arches the somewhat small stained glass windows of the opposite wall are visible.

Looking down the nave from the altar at the church organ and entrance. There are two sections of empty wooden chairs and square columns on both sides. The organ is made of dark brown wood carved to look like a neoclassical temple with columns, statues and othet architectural elements.
