Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/Palau de Santa Eulàlia.pdf] [accessed 17 May 2022] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the 13th-14th century, similar to several others in the area (e.g.: Sant Marti d'Empuries) and likely to have been inspired by the 11th-century double font at Santa Maria de Castello de'Empuries; the same source notes that the squate lower base is a later addition. Noted in Pobles de Catalunya [https://www.poblesdecatalunya.cat/element.php?e=7861] [accessed 17 May 2022]: "A l'interior de l'església es conserva una pica baptismal romànica."
