IPHAN's 1984 tombamento (heritage protection listing) for the Terreiro Casa Branca do Engenho Velho is Brazil's National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage's own official designation of the historic Candomble house of worship. As the government body with legal authority to make such designations, it carries direct institutional authority for the site's protected status and the date it was granted. Its strength is that it is the official record of the designation itself. Its limit is that it documents legal protection status, not the religious practice of Candomble at the site, which needs independent ethnographic scholarship.
