The Castle of Bosa was built in 1112 by the Marquises of Malaspina from Tuscany who ruled the country. This tower was added in 1330. After the conquer of the island by the Spaniards the castle was the residence of the Spanish nobility. Most of the inner buildings are in ruins and they have been recently restored.

Bosa, in north-westerly Sardinia, lies along the river Temo and here we see the bridge which leads to the city centre. In ancient times Bosa was an important commercial harbour and city and the Pisan noble family of Malaspina who ruled the city during middle age, built a castle on top of the hill.

Bosa is the only town in Sardinia which can claim to have a real navigable river. It lies in the north-westerly coast and recently has become a tourist destination for its lovely beaches. However the old town has some pretty historical buildings, churches and a medieval castle in ruins.
