Baptismal font listed in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/segovia_LANGUILLA.pdf] [accessed 19 May 2025]: "pila bautismal recientemente trasladada del baptisterio situado en el primitivo atrio a la capilla adosada a la cabecera. Se trata de una obra de grandes dimensiones: 120 cm de diámetro x 70 cm de altura de la copa cilíndrica. Fue elaborada en caliza y decorada con gallones rematados en la parte superior por un ancho listel." Medieval baptismal font probably of the Romanesque period: the basin is round, almost cylindrical, the sides almost vertical; flat moulding at the upper basin side, then all ribbed with fat crude ribs straight down; the basin is raised on a short plain pedestal round base and a square lower base also plain. Plain modern wooden cover.
