Bosa

After the House of Malaspina started around 1200 to erect the castle, that still today towers over Bosa, people settled around it, as the place offered more security than the settlement that existed near the shore.
In 1308 James II of Aragon (aka "Jaume el Just", "Jaime II de Aragón") acquired castle and town and so could increase the Aragonese influence on the island.

Some of the 8000 people, who live in Bosa today, love bright colours.
