The floor is black and white marble, and has many patterns laid in it. Because this was a pilgrimage church on the way to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, there is a labyrinth inlaid for the pilgrims to traverse on their knees, as a means of penance. Note there are no pews. The common folk either sat on the floor or stood during Mass.
