The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] mentions no font in it. [NB: we have no information on the font from this church -- the church is somewhat of a conundrum, and it is not known with any certainty whether a font existed in it; the church itself is said by some to be the work of the Maestro de Agüero, aka Maestro de San Juan de la Peña]]
