Listed in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/HUESCA_Larrosa.pdf] [accessed 23 September 2025]: "En el imafronte, bajo un arco, y junto a unas escaleras que probablemente dieran acceso al coro, se halla una pila bautismal desposeída ya de su función y belleza. El conjunto data, posiblemente, de finales del siglo xii." Inside the ruined church of the abandoned village is a large tub-shaped vessel with plain tapering sides; the object lies partly embedded in one of the outer walls of the recint. It resembles the 'oil fonts' of the Pyrenees [Jaca is in the Aragonese Pyrenees]. The font and its location in the church are somewhat similar to the one at nearby Acin de Garcipollera, also in ruins.
