Casa de Oxumarê, Candomblé temple in Federação, Brazil
Casa de Oxumarê occupies a white building with traditional Afro-Brazilian architectural elements and spiritual spaces for religious ceremonies in Salvador.
Founded in 1836 by Manoel Joaquim Ricardo, who arrived from Benin in 1795, this temple represents one of the oldest Candomblé institutions in Bahia.
The temple functions as an educational center where visitors learn about African religious traditions through ceremonies, workshops, and community gatherings.
