Baptismal font noted in Pedro Lozano Huerta [https://www.facebook.com/groups/romanicodelnorte/posts/10160885719279801/] [accessed 18 November 2025] as totally plain, which makes the dating difficult: "La pila bautismal es románica, lisa, sencilla, sin adornos, de difícil datación". The font consists of a roughly-hemispherical basin raised on a short cylindrical base. The front side of the basin has a pad cut out to house the metal lock [now removed?]. A round and plain wooden cover is still attached at the back; it appears modern. The font itself as indicated in PLH above, is of difficult dating but, although of a Romanesque general design, could be as late as the 15th or 16th century.
