Torrubia

José Serrano Belinchón in his original article on this locality in November 1984 [reprinted in http://guplazamayor.blogspot.com/2009/11/torrubia.html [accessed 18 March 2010]] noted a black-marble baptismal font raised on a Solomonic shaft of the same stone [="pila bautismal de mármol negro, sostenida sobre columna salomóni­ca de la misma piedra y forma de copa"] in this church. This baptismal font corresponds probably to the Baroque re-building of the 17th-18th century; it consists of a round shallow basin decorated with a stylised moulding on the upper rim and a ribbed pattern on the underbowl, raised on a slender torsade stem and a moulded round-to-square lower base. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original Romanesque church of which the south portal remains]
