The exterior, which has arched doorways and windows, is plain, the only decorative element being a dentilated cornice – a morphology that chimes well with the successful modeling of the volumes.

In contrast with the austere exonarthexes, the interior of the nave is impressive and imposing, and retains a number of features of the so-called Heptanesian Basilica type, such as the high pews, the painted “wall-paper” on the walls, and the decorated ceiling (ourania) which in this case is divided into coffers with elegant gilded wood-carvings.

The majority of them are tombstones with incised or relief names and coats-of-arms of noblemen, great protopapases (leading clerics), and distinguished Corfiote personalities in general, who were buried here, closely linking the Antivouniotissa with the history of the island.

In 1979, the descendants of the founders, the Mylonopoulos, Alamanos, Rizikaris and Skarpas families, decided to bestow a donation on the church, which has a rich collection of heirlooms and portable icons, on condition that it should become a Museum.

In 1984, after the major statics problems of the monument had been solved through urgently necessary restoration work, the then Minister of Culture, Melina Merkouri, inaugurated the Museum, with its rich collection of conserved portable icons and heirlooms.
