Bosa

The town spreads along both banks of the Temo River, with pastel-colored houses climbing up the hillside toward Malaspina Castle at 2 meters elevation.

Founded by Phoenicians, Bosa developed as a Roman municipium before the Malaspina family established the current settlement in the 13th century, moving it inland for protection.

The local population maintains Sardinian traditions through celebrations of Saints Emilius and Priamus on May 28, featuring processions and community gatherings.

Bosa serves as an administrative center in the Province of Oristano, providing essential services to residents along the western coast of Sardinia.

The town features a collection of former tanneries along the riverside, representing an industrial heritage that shaped the local economy for centuries.
