The principal objective of this research was to examine the situation of Candomblé in the city, regarding these actors in their interventionist potential of urban space once the city of Aracaju since its foundation project has assigned the urban core spaces to members of the social classes who perceived greater socio-economic extraction and assigned to the blacks and poor workers, mostly from the rural zone and countryside of the state, the peripheral areas of the rising town where they spontaneously built their living spaces and cultural survival. Thus, after the first contacts with some Candomblé yard, comings and goings, watching cults, religious leaders questioning regarding the history of the yard, their intervention in the community, their relationship with the government and their migratory process of dispossession and repossession in urban space, I searched the literature that presented me results of academic research on Candomblé dating from the early twentieth century. From that moment on, exposed to some core issues raised by research, I went to the field and selected as the object two Candomblé yards, both founded in the midtwentieth century and, with their leaders, I gathered historical data by means of interviews. Regarding the role of government, media and civil society, I got the necessary information in the archives, newspapers and libraries, where I could notice that since the first installations of Candomblé in Aracaju the yards experienced territorial changes that directly affect their sacred and political side.
