The Church of Our Lady of Compassion is located in Piedade. It was designed by a Goan priest in the early 18th century, and was the first Christian structure erected there.[2]
Cemeteries[edit | edit source]

Until the 20th century, the Our Lady of Divar School was the only school in the village. Due its red color, it was called Tambde Escola, or the 'Red School'.
