The heritage council approved federal listing for Ilê Axé Iyá Nassô Oká, known as Terreiro da Casa Branca, in Salvador. The decision followed a divisive debate over whether an Afro-Brazilian sacred landscape belonged within a heritage system built largely around churches, palaces, and elite monuments. Terreiro leaders, scholars, and allies insisted that a living religious community and its sacred trees and spaces were integral to the site. The approval is widely treated as a landmark in recognition of Afro-Brazilian religious heritage; the council vote date is distinct from later administrative publication and registration steps.
