Baptismal font made of granite, and probably dated to the building of this Trinitarian monastery church in 1664; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin with roll moulding at the upper rim and a ribbed pattern around the sides and underbowl, both very pronunced; on a short round pedestal base that has an inscription all around. Round and flat wooden cover with a metal lock.
