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

Ilê Axé Asipá is a religious center in the Piatã neighborhood dedicated to Candomblé practice. The building contains altars, gathering spaces, and areas designed for ritual activities.

Mestre Didi Axipá, supreme priest of the egungun cult, founded the centre in 1980. The community first built a wattle-and-daub house in a joint effort, then the Ilê Egum with columns carved with mythical motifs, and later the Ilê Orixá. It is listed by the Instituto do Patrimônio Artístico e Cultural (Ipac).

The terreiro is dedicated to the worship of egunguns, the ancestors, and does not perform the ritual dynamics typical of Candomblé terreiros devoted to the orixás. Its name, Ilê Axé Asipá, links it to the Asipá lineage from Africa, and the community gathers eguns cared for by Mestre Didi's forebears and by descendants of Miguel Santana, Ojé Orepê.

Visitors should understand that this is an active place of worship where respect for religious practices is important. It is best to check in advance when visits are welcome and to dress appropriately.

The terreiro gathers eguns from the Asipa lineage of Africa and those watched over by the old masters of Mestre Didi's family, Theodoro Pimentel, Marcos and Arsenio, as well as those of the descendants of Miguel Santana, Ojé Orepê. Because it is dedicated to the egunguns, it does not perform the ritual dynamic typical of Candomblé terreiros of Orixá worship.
