Church Notes: original church Romanesque, of which little survived; present church 16th-17thC;
Described in Bilbao (1996). Noted in Valle Barreda (2009) as the Romanesque font from the earlier church; he gives the fonts at Moncalvillo, Palacios de la Sierra and Terrazas as stylistic cognates. Listed and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] as a baptismal of the Romanesque church that was replaced by the present building here [="De lo que fuera la anterior iglesia románica queda [...] la pila bautismal colocada a los pies de la nave del evangelio. Responde al tipo más frecuente en la Sierra, de copa semiesférica con un bocel en la embocadura, una ancha cenefa con tallo ondulante en cuyos meandros se acomodan brotes con tres piñas, un listelillo ornado con círculos incisos y base de gallones. Se alza sobre breve tenante cilíndrico, basa ática de toro inferior con semibezantes y bolas y plinto cúbico decorado con arquillos de medio punto incisos. Tiene 110 cm de diámetro × 102 cm de altura total y es muy similar a la de Palacios de la Sierra." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 2 March 2022] notes: "La iglesia, dedicada a Santa Eugenia, es [...] del siglo XVI [...] La pila es románica con decoración vegetal en base y copa avenerada por fuera". Hemispherical basin decorated with a fruit-bearing vine between two mouldings: the upper is round and plain, the lower is flat and has circles on it; short circular stem with moulding; round-to-square lower base, the sides of the square part decorated with round arch-heads. Metal staples remain in the upper rim.
