Bosa, Residential district in southwestern Bogotá, Colombia.
The locality extends over 2,466 hectares at an elevation of 2,600 meters, bordered by the Tunjuelo and Bogotá rivers in metropolitan Bogotá.
Initially a Muisca settlement, Bosa became a meeting point for three Spanish conquistadors in 1538: Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, Sebastián de Belalcázar, and Nicolás de Federmán.
The Church of San Bernardino, constructed in 1618 and designated as a National Monument, stands as a testament to colonial architecture in the district.
The district contains 32 educational institutions, 259 parks, 4 shopping centers, and multiple healthcare facilities serving its population of 823,041 residents.
The name Bosa derives from Muysccubun language, meaning 'enclosure of one that guards and defends the cornfields', reflecting its agricultural heritage.
