Click to view
The entries for the churches of the city of Zamora in the Enciclopedia del románico do not include any baptismal font. On-site notes: baptismal font probably of the 13th century; hemispherical basin decorated with a torus-scotia combination at the upper end, plain otherwise; one of the sides of the underbowl appears damaged; pedestal base has two volumes: cylindrical at the top, with two roll mouldings, and quadrangular at the bottom with leaf motif at the upper angles. No font cover present but two staples from the old cover still visible in the upper rim.
