Listed in Pérez Carmona (1974). The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 1 February 2021] notes: "Su iglesia está dedicada a Santa María la Mayor y es de estilo románico con añadidos del siglo XV. Su ábside es románico con dos contrafuertes y dos ventanales. La portada es también románica, ya apuntada bajo un hermoso pórtico abierto del siglo XVI [...] la pila bautismal es románica con arcos tipo visigóticos". Described in Bilbao (1996) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period. Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) which points out the similarties with the fonts at Revillarruz and Villamiel de Muño; the basin is bucket-shaped and its sides are ornamented with thirteen horseshoe arches under a band of tablet motif; at the upper basin rim, a band of rope motif; some incised motifs in the spandrels; round base. The upper rim of the basin retains the two metal staples of the old cover at opposite ends. [NB: at the time of our visit in June 1999 the font was located in its 'normal' place, at the west end of the nave; it is now [June 2015] at the east end of the north aisle].
