Church Notes: present church is modern, completed 1962; replaced an earlier building of the 15th-17thC; the font may have come from another church
Noted in Bilbao (1996) as a magnificent font of Romanesque design and motifs but belonging to a later date ["mucho más reciente"]. Beatiful chalice-shaped font of the late Romanesque or early Gothic period. The basin has a band or scallop motif at the upper rim; below it, an arcade of round arches which contain: a smith, an eagle, a warrior, a lion, a tree of life, a woman holding a pitcher and drinking from a chalice-like vessel, a man with a strange hairdo (hat?) holding a lollypop-like object in his right hand, a tonsured monk raising the Host, another monk blesses what appears to be a chalice, another monk holds a book in his left hand and blesses with the right. The base is conical and totally plain. "La Pila Bautismal, es de traza románica, amplia, decorada con sencillos y hermosos motivos que guardan relación con los Sacramentos y escenas de la vida diaria. No conocemos su origen, quizás sea el único recuerdo de la primitiva Parroquia medieval de Fuentecén o quizás fue traida desde algún viejo Monasterio comarcano" ("Datos historicos de Fuentecen:, Jose Manuel Lopez Gomez, in www.geocities.com. page for Fuentecen). On-site notes: the rope belt of the monk indicates that he is a Franciscan, therefore the font must be 13th century or later.
