A second stone baptismal font in the Catedral [cf. Index entry for Tudela No. 1 for the main font here]; it is not the font of the original Romanesque church here, being probably of late Renaissance date; it resembles the font at Baillo (Huesca) in being octagonal and having an inner basin that is also octagonal; it is raised on an octagonal pedestal base decorated with trefoiled arches or windows; it is possible that the two parts did not belong together originally, as the basin appears to be of late date, and the pedestal may be earlier.. [NB: we have not yet been able to find out where this font comes from]
