This church has room for 972 churchgoers on the main floor level, and a further 231 seats on the overhanging balcony. The short distance between the rear seats (32.80 m) and the altar, and the inclination of the floor contribute to the establishment of a good communication between the priest and the faithful. Close to the altar is the choir, with accommodation for 3' people, and also the organ, and the sacristy, which in turn communicates with the rector's home and the parochial house. Special features of this church are the formal aspect of the structure —especially the side walls, which are hyperbolic paraboloids— the richness of constructive details, and the original and up to date architecture of the interior and external elevations.
