Situated right opposite Tribal Museum, the
Church of Our Lady of Piety is one of the
oldest churches in the region. Built by the
Portuguese in the latter part of the 18th
century, the church is noted for its imposing
Gothic architecture and bears a stark
resemblance to Barcelona’s Sagrada
Familia, which was designed by renowned
architect Antoni Gaudi. The structure has
grey exteriors built with stone and stands as
a testament to the rich colonial past of
Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
