The baptismal font in this church appears to be medieval and could perhaps be the one from the original 12th-century church here; it consists of a plain roughly hemispherical basin raised on a round-to-square pedestal base, part of which is semi-buried in the present flooring; there appear to be some mouldings and/or other decoration on the base. No font cover present. A tall wooden cabinet, octagonal with all panels brightly painted; ribs atop holding a large medallion-like finial, is described in the source [https://www.verpueblos.com/aragon/teruel/albarracin/foto/1405919/] [accessed 25 July 2022] as a baldaquin, "Mueble que antiguamente cubría la pila bautismal" [NB: this type of font covering is not often found in Spain, but it does appears in some of the churches north of the border with France].
