Font Notes:
The entry for this church in the diocesan site [https://www.archiburgos.es/parroquias/parroquia-santa-maria-guinicio/] [accessed 23 November 2025] reports a Romanesque font in it: "pila bautismal románica." The font consists of a roughly-hemispherical basin decorated on the outside with broad convex ribs, while the inside has a pattern of concave ribbing all around; raised on a short and round pedestal base decorated with a simple flat moulding at the top. No cover present. Its location is peobably not the original. Although several sources describe the font as Romanesque the design is probably much later, and probably dates from the late-Gothic period of the church itself.
