Click to view
One of two fonts or large stoups located outside the Igreja de Santiago; the smaller and plainer of the two may be medieval; it consists of a hemispherical basin with some piping or mouldings on its weathered surface; raised on a plain cylindrical stem and a splaying lower base of uncertain shape. It appears to have been exposed to the elements for a long time and is covered in lichens. Could be medieval.
