Welcome to Bosa!
Visite turistiche
The area around Bosa has been inhabited since prehistoric times. It was probably founded by the Phoenicians and although little is known about the original settlement it is thought that it suffered repeated raids by Arab pirates.
The Malaspina family (a wealthy family from Tuscany) developed a town at the foot of the river in 1112. Now-a-days this location is called Bosa Marina and it’s approximately 2.5km from the current town of Bosa.
After the construction of the Malaspina Castle in the 12th century, the population gradually moved from the coast to the hills. The town remained in the hands of the Malaspina family until the 14th century when it was taken over by the House of Aragon. Along with the rest of Sardinia, it was later ruled by Spain via royal marriage.
The houses began to be built later at the foot of the castle for protection thus giving life to the birth of the medieval quarter now known as Sa Costa.
The ancient village called Sa Costa is located at the foot of the hill Serravalle and is dominated by the Malaspina castle. Many of the streets of the old town are accessible only by foot.
