This Romanesque church is said to have been built in the mid-12th century on the site of an old sinagogue; the Baroque facade and bell tower were added in the 18th century; it later fell into disuse and remained closed for a long time, and is now [December 2010] used as 'Centro de interpretación del Románico y del Camino de Santiago'. The church is described in the Enciclopedia del romanico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/navarra_Estella.pdf] [accessed 2 March 2023] but it mentions no font in it. [NB: we have no information on the original font of this church]
