view of church interior - looking east

the interior of the church was altered from the original East-West single nave of the Romanesque church; the east end (chancel) of the old nave became a side chapel, while the north end of the new nave is now the new chancel -- seen here is the old chancel arch and east end

Font Notes:
The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed January 2023] notes: "San Martín, obispo, (antes San Vicente, mártir), es el titular de su iglesia, de una nave de hechura renacentista con una capilla añadida. Se ve que su ábside primitivo ha desaparecido, dejando algunos restos románicos, permaneciendo cegado su hueco correspondiente, con canes lisos; lo que queda es rectangular con contrafuertes. La portada es renacentista"; there is no mention of a font in it. No font mentioned either in the entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com]. The baptismal font in this church consists of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a round splaying pedestal base, both totally plain. No cover present, nor are there any traces of anchorings on the upper rim. Although the font has no motifs or details that would help in dating it, it is probably late-medieval rather than Romanesque. There are two stone stoups located next to the font; the largest of the two may have been used as font but, like the font itself, it appears late and has no evidence of cover anchorings on it either.
