Listed in Pérez Carmona (1974: 124). The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed March 2023] notes: "la pila bautismal es gótica, en hexágono [cf. infra], con decoración". Described in Bilbao (1996: 272) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the octagonal bowl has the following motifs: Greek cross; chalice; Greek cross; two crossed keys; a man wearing a cap raises his right hand in bennediction; a Sun with a human face; St. Andrew's cross; fleur-de-lys; the lower base is also octagonal.
