Bosa is a pretty town with an ancient history. Just take a stroll in the old town and have a look at the refined beauty of the houses, at the hill, dominated by the Malaspina castle and animated by the coloured houses of Sa Costa. View the numerous number of churches, among which the Romanic S. Pietro Extramuros.

From an architectural point of view, notice the use of local red stone called “trachite” to adorn windows and doors.

Thanks to river Temo, the only navigable river in the whole Sardinia, Bosa was an important commercial centre in the past. The industrial buildings of Sas Conzas, where leather was dressed, remain as an evidence of that. Also the traditional handcrafts of “filet” and filigree are typical and well known.

The local inhabitants don’t miss a chance to celebrate. The three most important feasts are Carnival, the Madonna del Mare’s festival (first Sunday of August) and the Regnos Altos feast (second weekend of September). But there are shows and events all summer long.
