The interior of the Church is in the form of a Latin cross, with the opening on the side aisles of small chapels with reliquaries, one of these, next to the altar, houses the tombs of Giacomo and Vincenzo Arcucci. Giacomo was the founder of the Certosa di San Giacomo in fact the tomb reproduces the aristocrat Giacomo holding the Certosa project.
