Ilha de Santa Bárbara is the largest island in the Abrolhos Archipelago, measuring 1.5km (00.9miles) long, 300m (1,000feet) wide and 35m (115feet) above sea level, it belongs to the Brazilian Navy and is not included in the limits of Abrolhos Marine National Park[1] nor under its jurisdiction and because it is a military base, disembarkation is allowed only with authorization from the II Naval District, located in Salvador.
A chapel was built in honor of Saint Barbara, and a small classroom was also built that serves children of sailors who live there with their family. There are other constructions such as a boat garage, a helipad and a French-made lighthouse on the highest point of the island, which was inaugurated in 1861 during the reign of Pedro II.[2]
