The main altar was designed in 1768 by Filippo Fasulo and completed in polychrome marble with sculptural decorations by Paolo Persico. The main altar has three paintings, a Circumcision (1673) by Luca Giordano and an Annunciation and Nativity by Francesco Solimena. The ceiling has an Immaculate Conception frescoed also by Giordano. The organ was completed in 1685 and restored in 1726.
