The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 13 February 2021] notes: "Su iglesia está dedicada a San Esteban, protomártir y es clasicista [...] La pila es románica, con gallones, pie cilíndrico y base cuadrada, deteriorada". Noted and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009). Baptismal font of the Romanesque period consisting of a round basin with a tall underbowl, raised on a moulded round-to-square base that may be of more recent date; the basin has a roll moulding at the upper rim but the sides are plain but for an incision all around; the underbowl is covered in a ribbed pattern; the top of the base has a thick roll moulding, and has ball motif at the angles lower down. This font matches the general shape of others in the area, but lacks the carved vine on the side that is quite common in fonts of the area. The upper rim retains metal staples from the old cover, but the present cover is round, flat and plain, and in very poor condition.
