I was able to film the interior as my phone fit through the rails.
It was built on the site of the simple chapel built by San Juan (Saint John) by order of Queen Isabel of Castile, the Catholic, who after visiting the tomb of the Saint asking for the grace of conceiving an heir, was the mother of Prince John. It is a wide rectangular nave covered by three ribbed vaults that are decorated with keystones with the coat of arms of the Sanctuary, as well as another larger one at the head, with the royal coat of arms that includes the pomegranate, and therefore later than 1492. The interior space is divided by a sober railing made in 1547, behind which is the uncarved stone coffin where the Saint was originally buried.
