The Capela de Santa Bárbara is in the town of Armamar, on Avenida Gomes Teixeira (postcode 5110-096), one of the town's main streets.

The parish history of Armamar lists the chapel of Santa Bárbara among its historic chapels, alongside those of Espírito Santo and São Lázaro, and notes that several of these belong to noble manor houses. We found no reliable source for the construction date, style or any feast day of this chapel, and the building is not a listed monument, so no further detail is given.

It lies about 400 m in a straight line from the centre of Armamar and is easily visited on foot as part of a walk through the town. Armamar sits on a slope south of the Douro valley, with wide views over the landscape from its upper parts. No opening hours are published.
