The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 22 May 2021] notes: "iglesia dedicada a Santa Eulalia, virgen y mártir [...] la pila de bautismo es de copa, lisa y rústica y tiene decoración vegetal en su pie cilíndrico." The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] does not mention a font in it. Baptismal font of stone consisting of a plain roughly hemispherical basin raised on a cylibdical base decorated with mouldings and scrolled leaves, a short square lower base. The base could be of a later date, although it is hard to date the plain basin itself. No cover present but there is damage to the upper rim that may be evidence of a former cover anchoring there.
