Piedade, Goa

Piedade is an island village located in Ilhas (also known as Tiswadi), a northern district in the state of Goa, India, and named after Our Lady of Compassion.

It lies 23 km east of the state capital, Panjim, between the taluks of Satari (to the north) and Ponda (to the south).

It was designed by a Goan priest in the early 18th century, and was the first Christian structure erected there.

Due to a lack of space, many artistic graves have been made here with niches in the walls for burying the dead.

The village panchayat is located in Goltim-Navelim and is walking distance from the school of Our Lady.
