'''Tivim''' pronounced '''Thivim''', is a village in Nathivim in [[Bardez]], in the [[North Goa]] district of [[Goa, India]]. It is an important gateway into North Goa as the home to the major railway station in North Goa. Tivim was also the ancestral village of the first global beauty queen of India, Ms. [[Reita Faria]]. More recently [[Prathamesh Maulingkar]] was crowned Mister Supranational 2018. .<ref>[http://www.navhindtimes.in/lethal-fighting-machine-nelson-paes/ www.navhindtimes.in/lethal-fighting-machine-nelson-paes/]</ref>

==Location==
Tivim is near [[Mapusa]]. The [[Tivim Railway Station]] at Tivim falls under the jurisdiction of the [[Konkan Railway]].

==History==
Tivim is a medieval village. Oral tradition suggests that the villagers had close ties with the villages of [[Siolim]], [[Cunchelim]] and [[Parra]], as well as the market town of Mapusa.

Writing in 1831 the French priest Rev. Denis L Cottineau regarded Tivim as one of the thirty-six villages and twenty-six parishes of [[Bardez|Bardes]].<ref>A Historical Sketch of Goa. By Rev Denis L Cottineau. 1831</ref> In 1834 the forts at Tivim were abandoned
In 1878 the population of Tivim was estimated at around 6000 and the village had a school.<ref>An Historical Sketch of the City of Goa. By José Nicolau da Fonseca. 1878.</ref>

===Church===
In 1623 the Church of St Christopher (São Cristovão) was built in Tivim by the villagers of Tivim, Sirsaim and Assonora.<ref>The Parish Churches of Goa. By José Laurenço. 2005.</ref>

===Fortresses===
A [[Fortaleza de São Sebastião (Tivim)|fortress]] was constructed at Tivim in 1635 by the fourth [[Count of Linhares]].
An inscription on its gate reads: "''Reinando O Catholico Rei D. Fillipe 3° governance este Estado o vigilantissimo D. Miguel de Noronha, Conde de Linhares, for feat established obra no anno de 1635''".
This Fortress was called Forte Novo de Tivim. In the same village two auxiliary forts were raised by [[Francisco de Távora]] the Count of Alvôr, respectively named [[Forte de Assumpção (Tivim)|Forte de Assumpção]] and [[Forte de Meio (Tivim)|Forte de Meio]], which were connected with one another and the one at what is now [[Colvale]] ([[Fortaleza de São Sebastião (Tivim)|Fortaleza de São Sebastião]]) by a strong wall protected by a deep ditch. These two forts were taken by [[Sambhaji]] in 1683 who retained them for a short time.<ref>An Historical Sketch of the City of Goa. By José Nicolau da Fonseca. 1878.</ref> Sambhaji also destroyed the church of St. Christopher, which was subsequently rebuilt.<ref>The Parish Churches of Goa. By José Laurenço. 2005.</ref>

==Prominent institutions==
Some of the prominent institutions in the village are the local church, [[Saint Christopher|St Christopher]], and the local schools of [[Saint Anne|St. Anne]]'s near the church and the nearby [[St Clara's Church (Assonora)|St Clara]]'s, near Assonora.

It is known for its football ground, by the main road alongside St Anne's school. One prominent historical site the [[Colvale Fort (Goa)]] is in the area.

==Tivim Train Station==

One of the main stations for North Goa can be found at Tivim (also called Thivim). It is part of the north–south line and trains from [[Bombay]] (Mumbai) and [[Kerala]] stop in this small station.
