'''Bardez''' is a region situated in the northern portion of the state of [[Goa]], India. It is co-terminus with the eponymous [[Tehsil|''taluka'']] of the district of [[North Goa district|North Goa]].

== Etymology ==
[[File:Slope to Bardez, Goa, India.jpg|thumb|left|View of a valley in Bardez]]
The name is credited to the [[Saraswat Brahmin]] immigrants who emigrated to the [[Konkan]] coast via [[Magadha]] plains in northern India. Bardez, or more properly ''Bara'' (twelve) ''desh'' (country), means 'twelve countries' (or territories). The form 'country' probably refers to clan territorial limits, or to the Brahmin ''[[wikt:comunidade#Portuguese|comunidades]]'', of which the twelve are:
# [[Aldona]]
# [[Anjuna]]
# [[Assagao]]
# [[Candolim]]
# [[Moira, Goa|Moira]]
# [[Nachinola]]
# [[Olaulim]]
# [[Pomburpa]]
# [[Saligao]]
# [[Sangolda]]
# [[Serula]]
# [[Siolim]]

Bardez is delimited on the north by the [[Chapora River]], on the south by the [[Mandovi River]], on the east by the [[Mapusa River]], which originates in Bardez itself near the capital city of [[Mapusa]], and on the west by the [[Arabian Sea]].

A native of Bardez is called a ''Bardezcar'' ({{IPA|/'baːɾdeːskaːɾ/}}) in the local [[Konkani language]].

Bardez is the site of the legislature of Goa, in the southern parish village of [[Penha de França, Goa|Penha de França]] (Britona), in Serula. Other famous sites are the [[Fort Aguada]], the beaches of [[Candolim]], [[Sinquerim]], [[Calangute]], [[Baga (Goa)|Baga]], [[Anjuna]], and [[Vagator]] villages, the hilltop monastery and boarding school of Monte Guirim, which was restored by Padre Luna after Pombal's devastation, the village communities of Salvador do Mundo, Penha da França, Siolim, Moira, Porvorim, Colvale, Saligao, and Sangolda, to name but the most prominent.

Goa's Indian Institute of Hotel Management (IIHM) and [[St. Xavier's College, Mapusa, Goa|Saint Xavier's College, Mapusa]] are located in Bardez.

The village and ''[[Comunidades of Goa|comunidade]]'' of [[Anjuna]] was famous as a [[hippie]] settlement. Among the [[Goan Catholics]], it is famous as the birthplace of [[Agnelo de Souza|Venerable Father Agnelo]], who is expected to attain sainthood. He is one of the two most prominent Catholic religious [[Goans|Goan]], the other being St. [[Joseph Vaz|Saint Joseph Vaz]], the 'Apostle of [[Sri Lanka|Ceylon]]', who attained sainthood recently.
