Mounted holy-water stoup consisting of a roughly bucket-shaped basin on a moulded circilar base; it is now located in the inner courtyard of the old Seminary of this town; below the damaged rim on which the rope moulding has been almost entirely oblterated, are sides decorated with human heads framed in garland arches ; mouldings all down the circular base; the object is generally in a poor condition with damage evident all over but especially around the upper rim. As with the other baptismal object noted in this Index as Ciudadela No. 1, we have no information on the original church where this object came from.
