An Afro-Brazilian temple, also called terreiros (from the Latin, terrarium ), roças (gardens), Candomblé houses, Batuque and tents or Umbanda centers, among other names, is a place where ceremonial services and offerings to the orixás take place in most Afro-Brazilian religions, including Candomblé, Umbanda and Macumba.

Since 1975, the Brazilian government has protected terreiros against any type of change in material or immaterial formation. In 2007, the people of the terreiro were also officially recognized as a traditional people, falling within the policy of sustainable development of traditional communities (PNPCT).

History[edit]

According to anthropologist Renato da Silveira, the Constitution of the Empire of Brazil, sworn in the name of the Holy Trinity on March 25, 1824, has the following provision as its fifth article:

The Roman Catholic Apostolic religion will continue to be the religion of the Empire . All other religions will be permitted to worship at home or privately in designated houses, without any form outside the Temple.

According to Antonio Risério (from Salvador, Bahia):

We have at the same time a permission and a prohibition. Permission occurs in the symbolic-ideological dimension: the existence of religions other than Catholic is allowed. The prohibition, in turn, affects the physical expression of these religions, in terms of their meeting places and rites. There cannot be any external form of a temple. It's an architectural prohibition.
