The present font, located in the baptistery is modern; described by Leonor Botelho e Patrícia Costa (2004) in SIPA [IPA.00001086] [www.monumentos.pt] [accessed 14 May 2015]: "No primeiro tramo da nave do lado do Evangelho, batistério protegido por grade de ferro decorada por motivos fitomórficos [...] Tem pia batismal em mármore rosa composta por pedestal de jaspe e mármore." The same SIPA source [ibid.] reports an "arranjo da pia batismal por Reimão de Armas; 1558", but we do not know which font it refers to. There are four holy-water stoups of consideration in this church, two at the entrance doors to the twin west towers, two more in the nace; they are described in SIPA [ibid.]: "Nas naves laterais, na parede fundeira, abrem-se portas de acesso às torres, ladeadas por pias de água benta, formadas por grande concha em mármore rosa, encimadas por decoração fitomórfica e sustentada por anjo em mármore negro, surgindo outras duas nas naves laterais, semelhantes." [NB: we have no information on the font from the original Romanesque building here]
