The first corresponds to the Baptistery that has a stucco ceiling covered with tempera paintings. It also holds excellent gilded wooden sculptures and a unique font. The second which has been carried out is the Sacristy of the Brotherhood (showed in the pictures) that holds unique pieces such as the 18th century golden reliquaries and sculptures, apart from the decorated ceiling.
