The church consists of two groin-vaulted bays, separated by a transverse rib, with a semi-circular apse with a semi-dome on top of it (the divisions are clearly demarcated by the rise and fall of the rooflines along the north side).
Transverse ribs project toward the topsheet and extend in a transverse direction of the article.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The bearing structure of each of what Calatrava calls the roof's two 'bent leaves' is a tubular steel arch joined by cables to a torque tube which supports a series of transverse ribs at 5m centres.
