Novas Conquistas
Region in Estado da India, Portuguese Empire / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Novas Conquistas or "New Conquests" are a group of seven concelhos (municipalities) of Goa and Damaon, officially known as Portuguese India. They were added into Goa in the 18th century AD, a comparatively later date than the original three concelhos that make up the Velhas Conquistas or "Old Conquests".
