Baptismal font of the Romanesque period. The roughly cylindrical basin is decorated with a blind arcade of large irregular arches; the base is a plain cylindrical stem much thinner than the basin, with a broader lower base, also round, in the manner of a roll moulding. This is a crude work. [We are grateful to David de la Garma [www.arteguias.com] for his notes on and photograph of this font]
