Saint Barbara
In a stone prison in Kapelluhrauni The statue of Saint Barbara was found. On a low lava hill opposite the aluminium smelter at Straumsvík, there is a barely noticeable stone cairn. These are the remains of a medieval Catholic chapel, and they have been protected as ancient monuments.
During excavations in 1950, a statue of Saint Barbara, the patron saint of travellers and metallurgists, was found here. The statue is preserved in the National Museum, but an enlarged replica is in the chapel. Go for a walk and explore the ancient monuments.
