Baptismal font in red-ochre marble, probably 17th or 18th century, believed to be originally from the parish church of San Juan de Dios; it is a typical product of the period: large hemispherical basin decorated with a torus-scotia at the upper rim and a stylised ribbed pattern around the underbowl; raised on a round pdestal base decorated with mouldings; plain and flat wooden cover hinged for front opening. According to the Catálogo Monumental (1990?-) the font belongs to the 18th-century expansion.
