Arauzo de Torre

Described in Bilbao (1996). The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 14 February 2021] notes: "La iglesia, dedicada a San Pedro, es de estilo indefinido [...] La portada es renacentista [...] En la torre se ve otra portada cegada, más alta, de arco ligeramente apuntado [...] La pila bautismal es románica, buena, troncocónica, con influencias árabes y con arcos de tipo de herradura". In Valle Barreda (2009). Baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the sides of the round basin are ornamented with a blind arcade of twelve arches which Valle Barreda (ibid.) describes as horseshoe [="herradura"]; no base; rests on a plinth of probably later date. The basin is roughly cylindrical with a plain underbowl chamfer tapering in attowards the bottom; the circular base or plinth is circular and plain, said to be of a later date [cf. supra]. Both basin and base are damaged, the basin with a diagonal through crack. The wooden cover, round, flat and plain, appears modern.
