Baptismal font in black marble probably from the date of the fabric of the church, the second half of the 17th century, in Baroqye style; the font is of a shape common in Europe in the period: the hemispherical basin is decorated with a torus-scotia combination at the upper rim, followed down by a ribbed pattern; it is raised on a baluster-type pedestal base and a round lower base, all of it standing on a two-step plinth of the same material, black marble; by contrast, the font cover (painted wood?) resembles a cream-and-green tea-cozy.
