On the fifth capital of the north side of the nave are two intricate and expressive birds. The capitals are decorated with a variety of motifs including palm leaves, symbols, biblical monsters and scenes from the life of Sainte-Foy. There are 212 columns in Conques with decorated capitals. Figures in the squinches are angels with realistic expressions and animated eyes. The crossing dome is a delicate octagon set in square. The barrel vault's outward thrust is met by the half barrels of the galleries which run the length of the nave and transept. The interior of the church is 20.70 meters tall with the sense of verticality being intensified by the repeating pattern of half-columns and pilasters approaching the high altar. The piers of the naves are huge stone blocks laid horizontally and covered with either four half-columns or four pilasters. The nave is divided into bays by piers which rise through the gallery and over the barrel vault. The nave at Conques is roofed with a continuous barrel vault which is 60 cm thick. The side aisles are roofed with a barrel vault that was originally covered with stucco. There are three radiating chapels off of the apse and two chapels off of the transept. The aisle around the apse is separated from the sanctuary by pillars and by the chapels which open up off of the transept. Narrower versions of these arches are also found in the apse. These arches are echoed in the arches of the gallery which are half of the main arches' height with central supporting piers. The arches of the main aisle are simple rounded arches.

The height of the crossing tower is 26.40 meters tall. The exterior length of the church is 59 meters. The western aisle was also added to allow for increased pilgrim traffic. Galleries were added over the aisle and the roof was raised over the transept and choir to allow people to circulate at the gallery level. Like most pilgrimage churches Conques is a basilica plan that has been modified into a cruciform plan. The third phase of construction, which was completed early in the twelfth-century, was inspired by the churches of Toulouse and Santiago de Compostela. The second phase of construction, which was completed by the end of the 11th century, included the building of the five radiating chapels, the ambulatory with a lower roof, the choir without the gallery and the nave without the galleries. The original chapel was destroyed in the eleventh century in order to facilitate the creation of a much larger church as the arrival of the relics of Sainte-Foy caused the pilgrimage route to shift from Agen to Conques. The original monastery building at Conques was an eighth-century oratory built by monks fleeing the Saracens in Spain.
