The present baptismal font in this church was probably introduced in the Baroque renovations made to the monastery church between 1649 and 1683; it consists of a shallow rounded [oval?] basin decorated with a single moulding and scotia on the upper sides, raised on a round pedestal colum of the baluster type, and a tiny square lower base or plinth. Low-dome metal cover with know finial.
