Jaen No. 2 / Jaén

Baptismal font consisting of a hemispherical basin decorated with a round moulding and a scotia at the upper rim, a ribbed pattern on the sides and underbowl. The wooden cover is octagonal, of the rim-buffet type, with doors opening at the front displaying the gilded and painted interior with a Baptism of Christ scene. Fernández Hervás ([2004?]) gives 1515 as the date of the foundation of this church. The building, however, appears to have served alternatively as a parish church and a sinagogue in earlier times. It is now the see of the botherhood of the 'Santa Capilla y Noble Cofradía de la Limpia Concepción de Nuestra Señora'. There is in the same c hurch a holy-water stoup built into a niche of the wall, and an interesting well-head in the yard.
