The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) notes a late-Romanesque baptismal font of the first half of the 13th century, located at the west end of the nave; a hemispherical basin decorated with ribbed pattern with round arch-heads on the ribs; on a truncated cone stem with a roll moulding at the top; this source suggests similar fonts in Soria province, at Losana, Hoz de Arriba, Torrevicente and Peralejo de los Escuderos. The font is rather crudely made; the basin has suffered some damage to the side; there are the remains of two (?) metal staples from the old cover lock in the upper rim of the basin; the drain hole in the basin appears to have been cemented in. Noted and illustrated in Herrera Casado (2014).
