A Romanesque baptismal font ornamented with a band of blind arches around the upper basin side. Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- ); the basin is cylindrical with a jemispherical underbowl and mounted on a short round pedestal base that is probably not the original; it shows an iron staple [from the old cover] in the upper side, rather than the rim itself. Noted in Badia-Homs (2007). Listed and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/Palau de Santa Eulàlia.pdf] [accessed 9 May 2025]
