In the first room of the museum a chapel with a life-size Romanesque-Byzantine Christ mounted on a cypress wood cross has been installed. It is surrounded by a complete collection of twelve anonymous paintings from the seventeenth century representing the Apostles and a baroque carving of Bishop Saint Ambrose.

In the second room (room of arms) of the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs of Alto Guadalquivir it is decorated with panoplies in the form of a shield with various weapons: swords, crossbows, axes, cutlasses, etc. It also has two carved armors and chests, as well as 16th and 17th century furniture.

The third room (noble room), is the one that stands out most architecturally for its termination in a Gothic ribbed vault and its windows with pointed arches with mullions, also Gothic. In it, three Flemish tapestries from the 17th century, signed by Ian Raes, and four cabinets forming a set with their corresponding 18th century tables are exhibited.
