Church Notes: church dedicated to St. Mary: " La advocación formal de la Virgen es la de Nuestra Señora de Barués, por ser este el lugar de su veneración y por haber aparecido en el término del mismo nombre, pero los habitantes de Barués siguieron reconociéndola como la Virgen que apareció en el lugar de Santa Fe. Hasta aquí la tradición popular.
El cambio de “Fe” por “Te” no es sino por una errónea transcripción ortográfica" [https://villadesosdelreycatolico.blogspot.com] [accessed 9 September 2025]

Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Aragón (Zaragoza, vol. 1, 2010) as a replica of the fonts at Sos del Rey Católico and Navardún, in the same area: the basin is quatrefoiled inside and out at the top, but octafoiled at the bottom, with four thick piping reaching up to the upper rim; the Enciclopedia... (ibid.) reports that this font is originally from the church at Camporreal, now in ruins: "La ermita conserva una pila bautismal que procede del templo arruinado de Camporreal desde donde, por donación de su propietario, llegó a barués. Es una réplica formalmente muy cercana a la que hay en la iglesia de Sos del rey Católico, siendo esta última a su vez muy similar a la de Navardún. Consta de basamento octogonal que crece a manera de pétalos de remate curvo, sobre el cual e sitúa la copa cuadrilobulada tanto al interior como al exterior, con baquetones verticales de interior cóncavo en los encuentros."
