Church Notes: Cistercian monastery founded 1194 and built o the site of a Muslim fortress; completed 1219; closed and abandoned in the mid-1830s in the Desamortización de Mendizábal; private farm in 1840s; later a park and hotel; church has remained in ruins; listed as national monument 1983
The fragment of a stone baptismal font is now located in the cloister of the monastery church; it appears to amount to about the lower 1/3 of a large hemispherical basin; there is no discernible decoration on the fragment; the inside well has a large central drain hole; it is raised on a round pedestal vase that appears modern. Impossible at this point to tell whether it was the font of the monastery church or not.
