Ilê Axé Opó Afonjá, Candomblé temple in São Gonçalo do Retiro, Salvador, Brazil.

Ilê Axé Opó Afonjá is a Candomblé terreiro founded in 1910 in the Cabula district of Salvador. Its buildings sit on the highest, flattest part of a 39,000 m² plot, arranged around an open terreiro: the barracão (a separate hall), the main temple with shrines to Oxalá and Iemanjá, the Casa de Xangô, and the Escola Municipal Eugênia Ana dos Santos. Dense vegetation covers the rest of the land.

Ilê Axé Opó Afonjá was founded in 1910 by Eugênia Ana dos Santos, Mãe Aninha, and Tio Joaquim, Obá Sanhá, after a group separated from the Casa Branca do Engenho Velho. It became one of the main temples of the Ketu sect of Candomblé. IPHAN listed the terreiro on 28 July 2000, the second Afro-Brazilian place of worship to receive federal heritage status.

The temple serves as an active center for traditional Candomblé ceremonies, where visitors can witness dances, music, and ritual offerings devoted to different orixás throughout the year. The spiritual practices remain integral to daily life on the grounds, reflecting the living heritage of African-Brazilian religion.

The grounds welcome visitors during daytime hours for cultural exchange and learning about Candomblé traditions. Visitors should approach with respect and understand that certain areas may have restrictions during active ceremonies.

The property preserves the last remaining forest patch in the neighborhood, where sacred plants grow for use in rituals and traditional medicine. This green space serves both spiritual and ecological purposes within the urban area.
