Described in Castillo López (1987 c1972: 574): a leaf capital made of alabaster and decorated with spirals in a circle on all four sides. Castillo López (ibd.) dates it to the 8th or 9th century, and compares it to a similar one in the nearby church of San Esteban de Calvor. He dates the church itself to the second half of the 12th century. [NB: we have no information on the font of the 12th-century church here].
