Terreiro Omo Ilê Agbôula
Terreiro Omo Ilê Agbôula, Candomblé religious center in Itaparica, Brazil
The Terreiro Omo Ilê Agbôula stands as a sacred compound with white buildings, ritual spaces, and religious structures dedicated to ancestral worship.
Established in 1940, this religious center moved through three different locations on Itaparica Island due to initial police persecution of African-Brazilian practices.
The site maintains the tradition of Egungun worship, where ceremonial gatherings honor male ancestors through specific rituals and sacred vestments.
Visitors need to arrange permissions in advance and follow strict protocols regarding photography and ceremonial observations within the religious complex.
The compound includes the Ilê Awô, known as the house of secrets, which contains sacred objects and serves as the principal spiritual chamber.
