The interior walls contain 4,860 square meters of frescoes painted using traditional techniques, complemented by an 18.5-meter-long iconostasis displaying religious imagery.

The church accommodates 1,200 people, making it the largest religious structure in Montenegro, with eleven bells in the tower dedicated to Saint Constantine.
