Additional Comments: The font does not seem to belong in this 11th-century church; appears too sharp and neat, whether because it is a modern replica/fake, or because it has been re-carved, but the inner well appears genuine -- emailed Montse Estela (20 Apr 2010) to see if she knows or can find anything about it

Click to view
Baptismal font of a monolithic design, octagonal with straight sides, resting directly on the ground; the only ornamentation is a set of mouldings on the upper 1/3; the inner well is round. The wooden cover is an octagonal pyramid, perhaps 19th-century, hinged on the side.
