The huge nave contains a absolutely beautiful altar made out of silver and gold between 1750 and 1752. Very special in this church is that the altar with the statue of the holy Mary serves in the back also as altar for the smaller church of the Franciscans. The bigger and the smaler churches are only separated by two wroughtiron gates.
