Matamba Tombenci Neto

Matamba Tombenci Neto, Candomblé terreiro in Ilhéus, Brazil.

Matamba Tombenci Neto is a religious center in Ilhéus dedicated to Afro-Brazilian spirituality. The site features ceremonial spaces, galleries, and memorial areas where these traditions are maintained and practiced.

The center was founded in 1885 by Tiodolina Félix Rodrigues, known as Iá Tidú, and has maintained continuous religious activities since then. It stands as one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the region.

The temple preserves Angola Candomblé traditions through ceremonies and rituals that connect visitors with African roots. The practices maintained here are experienced by many as a living link to their ancestors.

The site is located at Avenida Brasil 485 in the Alto da Conquista neighborhood and is easy to reach. Visitors should inquire about when public access is available, as private ceremonies take priority.

The center has founded more than 50 affiliated houses across Brazil, spreading its teachings to major cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. This expansion shows how deeply the founder's influence shaped the national religious landscape.
