Bosa is an Italian town in the province of Oristano, in Sardinia, Italy. Located on the west coast of Sardinia, Bosa covers 135.67 sq km (52.38 sq mi) and has a population of 8,100 people (2012 estimate).

Bosa is not exactly on the coast, by about 3 km inland, on the northern bank of the Temo River. It is just 5 m (16 ft) above sea level. The people here depend on farming and fishing for their livelihood.

Bosa has been inhabited since antiquity. It was a municipium under the Romans. The people moved inland for better protection, especially after Malaspina Castle was built. The Malaspina family controlled the area until the 14th century, when it was captured by the Aragon.

Today Bosa is well known for its well-preserved heritage architecture, with houses painted in different colors forming a kaleidoscope of the town.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
