The church sits on a side street within the Old Town walls, set apart from the larger Cathedral nearby. The facade is simple stone with a modest entrance. Inside, the decorative programme includes ceiling frescoes, carved altar details and gilded elements.

The compact size of the interior means the decorative density is visible at close range. The church is on a pedestrian street inside the Old Town, within a short walk of the main square. There is no standard entry fee. The church suits visitors interested in Baroque religious art and architecture within the Old Town.

The painted ceilings and ornate interior distinguish it from the simpler stone churches elsewhere in the walled town. The side-street position means the church is often quieter than the more visited Saint Tryphon's Cathedral.
