The nave is covered with a barrel vault, and the transept has a half-orange dome. At its foot is a two-story granite doorway with a niche containing a stone image of Saint Mary Magdalene, the church's patron saint. The façade is topped with a large triangular pediment and a small bell gable.

The painting was housed in a large, gilded, Baroque-style altarpiece that served as a gigantic frame.
