L'interno della cattedrale di San giovanni Battista in Ragusa, a croce latina, con presbiterio absidato, è in pietra pece, oggi intonacato, con capitelli riccamente scolpiti dal capomastro Carmelo Cultraro nel 1731 e successivamente dorati. Sopra le colonne si trovano grandi cartigli con i versetti della Sacra Scrittura che si riferiscono a Giovanni il Battista, scolpiti nella pietra calcarea da Crispino Corallo nel 1741, a cui successivamente vennero aggiunti gli angeli in stucco. Tra il 1776 e il 1777 Giuseppe Gianforma ed il figlio Gioacchino decorarono con pregevoli stucchi dorati di gusto rococò le volte delle navate e del presbiterio e nelle pareti dei transetti realizzarono delle grandi nicchie circondate da statue. A sinistra le Virtù teologali (Fede, Speranza e Carità) fanno da cornice alla Crocifissione mentre a destra le statue dell'Eterno Padre adorato dagli angeli circondano una tela raffigurante l'Adorazione dei Pastori, di scuola napoletana della metà del XVIII secolo. Terminate le decorazioni interne, il 30 maggio del 1778 la chiesa venne solennemente consacrata.
