A chapel was built in honor of Saint Barbara, and a small classroom was also built that serves children, children of sailors who live there with their family. There are other constructions such as a boat garage, a helipad and a striking French-made lighthouse, perched on the highest point of the island, inaugurated in 1861 during the reign of Pedro II.[2]
