Click to view
The entry for this originally medieval church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] does not mention a font in it. A former baptismal font made of granite is now [2008] used as a water fountain against the exterior wall of the church [east side?]; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a roll moulding at the upper rim, and a pattern of diagonal ribs all around; narrow base of quadrangular shape with sharp-edged mouldings. The font is probably from the 15th century. No cover present. The present font in use is from the 18th century.
The entry for this church in María Rodríguez Serantes & Alberto Alonso de Dios's Galicia Maxica [https://www.galiciamaxica.eu/galicia/pontevedra/comarca-de-pontevedra/ponte-caldelas/iglesiatouron/] [accessed 23 June 2022] mentions a baptismal font of the Romanesque periodfound recently buried at the back, later moved to the atrium [="En la parte de atrás se localizó hace poco enterrada la antigua pila bautismal románica que hoy forma parte de la decoración del atrio."]
