Serra de Santa Bárbara, Dormant volcano in Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal.
Serra de Santa Bárbara reaches an elevation of 1,021 meters and features a double caldera with two smaller peaks at its center.
The volcano experienced its last recorded eruption in 1761, when lava flowed from its eastern flank, forming small domes that remain visible today.
The mountain forests contain protected holly and juniper trees within the Nature Reserve of Serra de Santa Barbara e dos Mistérios Negros.
Multiple walking trails, including Mistérios Negros and Serreta, provide access to different sections of the protected volcanic area.
The volcano contains a wetland complex with Sphagnum peatbogs and serves as habitat for endemic Azorean bird species.
