Click to view
The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] mentions a surviving portal of the transitional [13th-century?] period, but no font in it. The present font in this church consists of a roughly hemispherical basin on a round baluster-shaped pedestal base on a tiny square moulded lower base; it is probably of a much later period than the medieval church of which only the south portal remains. No cover present. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font here].
