Described and illustrated in Antonio García Omedes [www.romanicoaragones.com] : baptismal font probably of the original date of the church, the 12th century; it is a plain roughly hemispherical basin now partly built into the west wall of the nave; it is fitted with a wooden covering of the "rim-buffet" type, opening to the front . The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/HUESCA_Centenero.pdf] [accessed 17 June 2025] notes: "A los pies de la nave, y completamente adosada a su muro occidental, se halla una pila bautismal con forma de gran copa circular que apoya es un pequeño pie de sección cilíndrica. Actualmente se ha colocado sobre ella una moderna estructura de madera a modo de puertas de armario.""
