Terreiro Obá Ogunté, African temple in Água Fria, Recife, Brazil

Terreiro Obá Ogunté, known as Sítio de Pai Adão, is a Nagô terreiro in Água Fria, Recife, dedicated to Iemanjá. Its grounds hold a gameleira revered as the divinity Irocô and a baobab over a century old with a trunk more than 10 m in diameter. Two leaders, a babalorixá and an ialorixá, direct the house.

The Ilê Obá Ogunté was founded around 1875 in Água Fria, Recife, by Inês Joaquina da Costa, known as Tia Inês (Ifá Tinuquê), who died in 1905. After her death it was led by Felipe Sabino da Costa, Pai Adão, a master of Yoruba and of Xangô ritual. It is the oldest Nagô temple in Pernambuco and the first terreiro listed by a state government, by decree 10.712 of 5 September 1985.

The house takes its popular name from Pai Adão (Felipe Sabino da Costa), Tia Inês's successor, remembered for his command of Yoruba and of ritual and mythological foundations. In the Nagô-Ebá nation two people lead it, a babalorixá and an ialorixá; the current ones are Manoel do Nascimento Costa, Manuel Papai, and Maria do Bonfim.

The terreiro sits in Água Fria, in the Sítio de Água Fria area of Recife, and is reached from the city centre by the neighbourhood's main roads. It is an active house of worship, so visits depend on the consent of the babalorixá Manoel do Nascimento Costa (Manuel Papai) and the ialorixá Maria do Bonfim, who lead it jointly. Look for the large baobab and the gameleira tree within the grounds.

Tia Inês brought seeds from Africa to plant a gameleira that still stands and is venerated as the divinity Irocô. The grounds also hold a baobab over a century old, more than 10 m in diameter, a size rarely reached in Brazil. One of the sacred trees was damaged by fire in November 2018.
