The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 2 May 2022] notes: "La iglesia, dedicada a Santa María, es gótica, de una sola nave, aunque conserva una notable capilla románica con canes y ventanal, restos de la iglesia antigua [...] La pila es románica con gallones y moldura en el borde y base circular." The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] does not mention a font in it; probably because the Enciclopedia did not see it as Romanesque [cf. supra].
