On lhe inside it houses a central octogonal tambour with eight pillars, each composed of four addorsed columns, allowing ample room to pass through. In the early 1500´s, a wide arch was opened to the chancel that was it by an oculus, which on the outside was part of the decoration of the Chapter window.

The decoration of the Charola consists of Motifs on the structure of the tambour, paintings on the annular vault, wall paintings on the second level of the tambour (representing instruments of the Passion of Christ, by Fernãio Anes), eight of the fourteen originl panels are on the perimeter wall (by Jorge Afonso), wooden sculptures (representing Angels, Saints and Prophets) and a set of the Virgin with St. Jonh by Olivier de Gand.
