Click to view
The present font is noted and illustrated in Borras, Siurana & Thomson (2012): baptismal font of the 1940s, possibly the work of Amadeo Paltor; the present dome-shaped cover is the work of the Albareda Hnos. Workshop. This same source reports that the new replaced an earlier one destroyed in 1936, during the Spanish Civil War; the destroyed font may have been a neo-Gothic piece of ca. 1880. [NB: the church fabric goes back to the 13th century, but we have no information on the font of that period].
