The sanctuary is a barrel-vaulted single bay, with the vault decorated richly in gilded stucco with a geometric pattern. The High Altar, made of French red marble and Cottanello marble, was designed by Francesco Borromini on a commission by the Florentine nobleman, Orazio Falconieri. The altar aedicule counts as Borromini's last work.
