The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 24 March 2022] mentions the church, the only one in Burgos of Asturian style [="estilo asturiano –ejemplar único en Burgos"] but mentions no font in it. The present baptismal font, which can be seen in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) illustration of the church interior does not appear Romanesque and may be a replacement of the original font of this church. It is goblet-shaped and has a flat wooden cover. Is it 16th- or 17th-century? [NB: we have no information on the original font of this church]
