Assagao is a village in Bardez, Goa, India located about 4 kilometres west of Mapusa. It is known as the "Land of Flowers" as well as several other nicknames – "Goa’s South Extension", "Artist’s village", "The Beverly Hills of Goa", "Goa’s Tuscany". The village is surrounded by hills. From Mapusa town, the road u-turns uphill and, while descending the pass in the small plateau, splits into two parallel roads: one which proceeds straight along the St. Cajetan Church, Assagao Union High School to Anjuna and the other, which passes by Pallottine Seminary and Panchayat Office straight to Badem. The popular beaches of Anjuna and Vagator are to the west of Assagao.
