A baptismal font here is noted in Bilbao (1996). Noted in García Gómez (2007) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period, the decoration of which serve as the model to several other fonts in the area: Nafría la Llana, La Barbolla, La Cuenca, Torreblanco, etc. Large cauldron-shaped font has wide band along the top third of the basin ornamented with ondulating line and rope motif. The font is in very poor shape, quite damaged at various spots. According to the churchwarden [September 1999] this font was discovered about 20 years ago during construction excavations; his dating of the font, 938 A.D., is way off the mark, as the font is more likely of the 12th or 13th century.
