A wall-mounted circular holy-water stoup is noted in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) in the conventual church of the Clarisas, a building that had earlier been a parish church dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. The Enciclopedia… does not mention a font in this church, nor does it provide any information on the font of the two other medieval churches [now in ruins] of this town: the Iglesia de San Martín, the oldest [mid-12th century?] in town and located in the old quarter, and the Iglesia de Santa María del Collado, in the fortified structure of the same name, All three churches are of the Romanesque period.
