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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
