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.

Located at Avenida Vasco da Gama 343, the temple offers guided visits through advance reservations via email at religioso@casadeoxumare.com.br.

Two Yoruba kings from Nigeria have visited this temple, including Oba Alákétu Adiro Adétutu from Kétu and Oba Àlàájì Lamidi Oláyiwolá Adéyemi III.
