Ilê Axé Asipá, Candomblé terreiro in Piatã, Salvador, Brazil.

The religious center sits on Rua da Gratidão in Salvador, functioning as both a cultural institution and a place of worship for Afro-Brazilian traditions.

Deoscóredes Maximiliano dos Santos established this spiritual center in 1980, creating a space dedicated to the practices of ancestor veneration.

The Institute of Artistic and Cultural Heritage of Bahia recognized the terreiro as a state heritage site in 2017, acknowledging its role in preserving traditions.

Located at coordinates 12°56′18″S and 38°22′53″W, the site maintains regular religious ceremonies and educational programs about Candomblé practices.

Unlike most Candomblé centers, this terreiro specializes in egum worship, focusing on male ancestor veneration rather than the more common orixás traditions.
