A few meters away from his birthplace, inside the beautiful and little romanesque church of San Millan, in Petílla de Aragón, the font (1586) can be seen in which Santiago Ramon y Cajal was baptized on 2 May 1852, as remembered in the parish register (a copy of the act can be read in the nearby Cajal’s Museum).
