view of church interior - west end - detail
Scene Description: Source caption: "El último tramo de la nave es la parte más antigua del edificio que fue construida con gruesos muros de mampostería, como así se manifiesta en el acusado derrame interior del ventanal abier to a los pies, cubriéndose ahora con bóveda de crucería sencilla. Adosados a ambos muros, se conservan dos columnas románicas con sus respectivas impostas que corresponden a la vieja fábrica tardorrománica. Sólo uno de los capiteles está decorado –el otro es liso– representando en un vértice de la cesta a dos cuadrúpedos que afrontan sus cuerpos en una sola cabeza y en el otro un ave de forma muy esquemática. Ambos están labrados por la mano de un escultor muy local que ha realizado un trabajo ciertamente tosco."

The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 5 March 2022] notes: "iglesia, dedicada a Santa Águeda, renacentista [...] La pila es románica, avenerada por fuera, sin adornos." The baptismal font located at the west end of the nave consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with ribbed pattern, raised on a polygonal pedestal base; it appears to date from the same period as the fabric of the church, the 16th or 17th century. Two metal cinches have been installed around the basin, presumably to deal with cracks? No cover present. [NB: there may have been an earlier font in the nearby Ermita de San Martin, although the archaeological evidence appears not to support the popular tradition about the function of that chapel; Nebreda Perdiguero [cf. supra] mentions two ermitas in the neighbourhood, as well as the ruins of a monastery church of 852, and those of a rock church in el Pópilo].
