The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 30 January 2021] mentions the church, "iglesia, dedicada a San Julián, mártir, de transición del románico al gótico [...] El ábside es románico con canecillos de decoración simple y dos columnas adosadas con basas y capiteles decorados y un ventanal ajimezado con fustes, capiteles y arquivoltas decoradas"; it does not mention a font in it. The baptismal font in this church consists of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a cylindrical pedestal base, both devoid of any decoration; the upper rim retains two metal staples from an earlier cover but there appears to be none present now. There is a holy-water stoup by the south entranceway, wall-mounted on the south wall, on the east side.
