Abstract
Description
The nave is a three bay basilica divided by two rows of scagliola faux-marble pillars. These pillars are capped with Renaissance style capitals and half circle arches. This arrangement is almost identical to that of the Church of St. Joseph du Carme in Paris.
The central sanctuary consists of a classical choir and apse arrangement. The original altar, now reredos, was expanded by adding two piers with Eupolas containing statues of angels. A marble wall connecting all three cupolas was also built. This altar now fashioned into a reredos is much like the decor of the exterior of Sacre Coeur in Paris.
