Font Notes:
In the interior of this late-12th century (?) Romanesque rural chapel located outside the village is an object that could be a holy-water stoup or a small baptismal font; it is now located by the south doorway serving as stoup; the upper 2/3 of the stone basin have a smooth round finish but the lower 1/3 is either unfinished or has been re-tooled to the present shape; it is raised on a quadrangular block that has a Latin cross inscribed in a circle. [NB: we have no information on the font of the parish church here, the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes],
