The plastic artists who worked on its decoration did so with the intention of extolling the figure of the Virgin Mary, highlighting the work made by the sculptor Juan González Moreno. His contribution was the most extensive, not only was he in charge of the ornamental design of the temple, but he also executed the reliefs found in the main altarpiece, the transept naves and the side chapels, representing scenes from the life cycle of the Virgin.
