Noted and illustrated in García Omedes [www.arquivoltas.com] as a plain tub-shaped baptismal font probably of the 12th century, like the church itself. The font is located at the west end of the nave, south side, and rests directly on a circular plinth. The upper rim of the basin still retains one of the old cover staples. The cover iyself is round, flat and plain; modern.
