The interior is not very bright, the nave has a richly stuccoed barrel roof and small frescos. On the sides of the nave there are chapels with interesting paintings by eighteenth-century painters from Brescia, such as the Martyrdom of San Bartolomeo by Francesco Maffei; the apse is deep with a large painting on the bottom depicting the Nativity of St. John the Baptist; the altar is in Baroque style and on the sides there are two organs. Overall the interior is very scenic, with an atmosphere reinforced by the lack of natural light.
