The baptismal font at this priory church is made of granite and consists of a hemispherical basin raised on a short octagonal pedestal base and an octagonal-to-square lower base; there is a Latin crosses carved on the side of the granite basin, its shape most likely representing the Cross of the Order of Santiago, of which this church was a priory; there is a round moulding at either end of the stem of the base, four of the sides of the stem decorated with pilgrimage shells. The font has a wooden cover, flat and plain, with lock on the front side; it appears modern. The font is located in the northeast corner of the nave, just west of the chancel arch. Illustrated in Yzquierdo Perrín (2003). The church itself is said to be late-12th and early-13th century.
