Axé Ilê Obá, Candomblé temple in Jabaquara District, São Paulo, Brazil.

The Axé Ilê Obá temple spans across 4,000 square meters of land, featuring a central hall of 1,200 square meters with a golden crown weighing 75 kilograms.

Founded in 1950 by Pai Caio de Xangô, the temple moved to its current location in 1975 and became the first Candomblé center recognized as heritage in São Paulo in 1990.

The temple maintains African religious practices, hosting ceremonies and events that connect Brazilian communities with traditional Yoruba spiritual customs and rituals.

The temple welcomes visitors and practitioners, offering regular religious services and cultural events throughout the year in the southern zone of São Paulo.

The temple features architectural elements inspired by traditional Bahian religious buildings, including a white facade and symbolic decorations representing Candomblé traditions.
