The structure is circular and features two projecting side apses. The dome is complemented by semi-domes over the side apses. At both the front and rear, there are pedimented porches supported by Roman Doric columns, each with half-glazed double doors. The temple has four sash windows with glazing bars. Inside, there is a honeycombed, coffered ceiling vault.
