Noted in Bilbao (1996). Noted and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009), with suggested date in the early 13th century. The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del romanico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_SOLARANA.pdf] [accessed 5 April 2023] reports its baptismal font as the only remnant of the earlier building: "El único resto románico conservado en su interior es la pila bautismal, formada por una basa cilíndrica de moderna factura y una copa troncocónica de 96 cm de diámetro y 59 de altura, decorada con un bocel en la embocadura y una arquería de medio punto con bezantes en las enjutas. Su cronología parece rondar ya el siglo XIII". The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 5 April 2023] notes: "La pila es gótica, de vaso, con arcos en relieve, molduras en borde y pie cilíndrico". The irregular bucked-shaped basin is ornamented with a double moulding at the upper rim; below is a blind arcade of round arches on columns with capitals; circles in the spandrels; double flat moulding at the foot of the arcade; on a short circular base that looks as a later addition. The upper rim of the basin retains one of the old metal staples, and its pair across the rim is missing and the spot damaged. No cover present.
