The height of the central nave, rendered more elegant by the addition of a handsome Romanesque triforium of round-headed arches, contrasts harmoniously with the sombre aisles, whereas the bareness of the walls for all mural paintings were washed away by a bigoted prelate somewhere in the fifteenth century helps to show off to better advantage the rich sculptural decorations, leaf and floral designs on capitals and friezes.
