Noted in Perez Arribas as a font similar to the one at San Gil, Atienza. Romanesque baptismal font noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) with date in the late-12th or early-13th century, quite similar to the fonts at San Gil and San Bartolomé churches, also in Atienza [cf. Index entries for Atienza]; the font consists of a hemispherical basin decorated with a band of dog-tooth [nail-head] motif around the upper rim, a ribbed pattern framed in a round arcade of round arches with bead-tape arch-heads of double columns, with Maltese crosses in the spandrels; the short truncated cone base has a roll moulding at the top, and fluted pattern all around; the stubs of the metal staples of the font cover are still in the upper rim. The main difference with the San Gil font are the Maltese crosses in the spandrels of the arcade. Noted and illustrated in Herrera Casado (2014).
