The baptismal font is located in the southern section of the choir loft. It is an interesting example of a Romanesque font from the former parish of Benegorri, in Valdorba.

It has a large gadrooned goblet, decorated with semicircular arches and scarce projection. In some of these fonts, in the form of brief niches, very popular and schematic aesthetics human figures can be seen; in the fonts which we see today are smooth, but must have had painted images. It conserves remains and shadows of some figures. In fact, it gives the impression that the exterior of the goblet was polychrome.
The shaft on which it sits places a man in a vigilant position in front of the font. It is not easy to interpret. Especially since the sculpture has suffered a significant anatomical loss. It is necessary to look closely. It is a bearded character who, seated and with his hands on his thighs, shows us his genitals. Yes, it may sound strange in the context in which we find ourselves. The figure was sculpted with a large erect phallus that, as in other cases, has subsequently been amputated. The fact must be related to ancestral cultic traditions, associated with fertility and procreation. To our knowledge, this is a unique case. Medieval art never ceases to surprise. The carving of the foot can be dated to the late twelfth century, although the workshop that made the carving does not seem to be the same as the one that made the goblet, which is much more schematic and popular.
Let’s go up to the choir via the straight staircase, embedded in the south wall of the foot section. The door is next to the south entrance door. Once we reach the choir, press number 8.
