The inside of the church is a symphony of space and color. A wide transverse wall divides the room, typical of Franciscan churches, spanned by an impressive fresco that combines Renaissance elegance with spontaneous, decorative grace. A “Crucifixion” is enthroned in the middle, surrounded by fifteen pictures depicting the life of Christ, painted by a talented but unfortunately unknown Lombard artist between 1495 and 1505.

Another splendor is the fresco in the chapel on the right, dedicated to the Dormitio Mariae, with a wooden figure in a gilded urn. Attributed to the circle of Gaudenzio Ferrari, it radiates a special grace. Two other frescoes are also particularly valuable, one depicting St. Bernard between Saints Roch and Sebastian, and the “Annunciation” in the triumphal arch of the choir, attributed to a painter from the circle of Ambrogio Borgognone.

The church also houses paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, old tombstones and wrought-iron grilles from the 16th and 18th centuries. One of the most precious churches in Ticino, which should be viewed with peace and reverence, owned by the city of Bellinzona.
