context_page_description: The Church of Santa Bárbara is a church in the civil parish of Cedros, municipality of Horta, on the Portuguese island of Faial in the archipelago of the Azores. Its parish falls within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Angra, and serves the parishioners of the northern coast from the border with Salão to Ribeira Funda.
context_section_description: The church is situated in the locality of Praça, the main agglomeration in the parish, on a rise, accessible from Rua da Igreja. It is fronted by the Museu Etnográfico dos Cedros (Ethnographic Museum of Cedros), instituted by the local Casa do Povo (social centre) to the west and churchyard.
  Originally designed on a five nave longitudinal plan, the current model is a simplification and modernization from the first design, with main space, and lateral spaces for sacristy, baptismal font and lateral pius. The design has taken on an eclectic design mixing modernist trends, Manueline elements and Baroque motifs. In the lateral
  Over the southern lateral doorway is an inscription stating: "Esta capela fez António Martins em 1596".
  The main portal is worked/sculpted basalt, in Roman arch, with three archivolts separated by decorated pilasters. The exterior archivolt is flanked by sculpted pilasters, which extend above each respective capital and end in a floral.
  The two-storey rectangular bell-tower includes footers, cornerstones, frames, corners and pinnacles in masonry. The rest of the surface is plastered and painted in white. Dividing each floor are cornices: on the first floor is a rectangular window and the second floor includes four Roman arches with the tower bells. The tower is topped by a pyramidal spire and corner pinnacles.
