Baptismal font probably of the 14th century consisting of a polygonal [12? / 16? sides] basin with rounded sides, raised on a similarly-shaped squat pedestal base; plain wooden cover, flat and with an lock on the front side. [NB: a plaque in the baptistery reads: "La pica baptismal, realitzada amb marbre de Gènova, fou beneïda el 13 d'abril de 1691" [="The baptismal font, made of Genoese marble, was blessed 13 April 1691" -- unless it is a replica, the font appears original and matches the fabric of this 14th-century church]
