Major changes to the façade probably took place after the fire of 1433.

The architecture is clearly of Byzantine taste and is characterized by a dome higher than the four bell towers. The façade is decorated with nine large statues by the Milanese sculptor Emilio Bisi (1850-1920). The interior is richly decorated according to Byzantine canons, entirely decorated with oil paintings imitating mosaics.
