Noted and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009) as a Romanesque font in this Baroque church; it consists of a bucket-shaped basin raised on a plain round base; rope moulding at the upper rim of the basin; on the sides, at the front only, an arcade of only three round arches on columns with capitals and bases; in the central arch, standing by itself, a torsade column without arch on it; leaves in the spandrels. No entry found for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com]. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed October 2022] reports a Romanesque font in the Renaissance church: "iglesia, dedicada a San Vitores, mártir, renacentista, de dos naves [...] La pila es románica, de vaso, con arcos incisos y base cónica".
