Terreiro Bate Folha, Candomblé terreiro in Salvador, Brazil

Terreiro Bate Folha is a Candomblé religious center in Salvador with multiple ceremonial buildings distributed across its grounds. Much of the property remains forested, creating green spaces that surround the main structures.

The site was founded in 1916 and received official protection status as a heritage asset in 2003. This recognition secured the center and its traditions for future generations.

The terreiro's name comes from the leaf used in rituals, and its traditions descend from Manoel Encoce's Congo lineage and Maria Neném's Angola lineage. Tata Manoel Bernardino da Paixão took his first barco, or initiation group, on 4 December 1929, with João Correia de Mello as rianga, the first son of the house.

The terreiro occupies about 15.5 hectares of remaining Atlantic Forest in the Mata Escura do Retiro area, at Travessa de São Jorge, 65. It is an active Candomblé house, so visits depend on the community's permission and ceremonies; dress modestly and follow the guidance of the Tata or hosts.

The center maintains a sacred forest area where members cultivate and care for plants with spiritual significance. This space preserves traditional knowledge about how local plants are used for religious and practical purposes.
