Font Notes:
Described in Domeño (1992) as a baptismal font of the Gothic period: hemispheric basin has Gothic arches resting on columns with capitals; diamond motif in the spandrels; cylindrical pedestal and round lower base with four ball motifs. The Catálogo Monumental de Navarra (1990?-) describes it in the same terms but gives the period simple as "medieval". The Enciclopedia del románico en Navarra (2008) redports that the Gothic baptismal font from this church was moved to the church at Mendillorri [Mendillori is now a suburb of Pamplona].
