In the middle of the aisle is placed a little marble-made temple with a fine bass-relief portraying the "Annunciation", a statue portraying Saint Augustine and an "Magi's Adoration".

Very interesting is also the sacristy, where it is possible to admire the "Creation" painted by Luca Cambiaso (1527-1585). On its walls it is possible to admire some desks and wardrobes carved by the fine crafstman Francesco Battaglia.
