Font Notes: Click to view

Described in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. XXV: 169): monolithic baptismal font made of granite probably in the 13th century; it is ornamented with a flat moulding at the upper basin side, as well as with a large Latin cross on the side. On-site notes: the hemispherical granit basin has a prominent upper rim and a large Latin cross on the front side; there is some damage to the lower part of the underbowl but the font is otherwise in a fair condition. It is now raised on a short concrete base, but the bowl is tall enough (93 cm) to have been originally placed directly on the ground. The wooden flat lid is modern and opens at the front half.
