Bosa is a town in the province of Oristano on the Italian island of Sardinia, two-thirds of the way up the west coast, on a small hill about 3 km inland on the north bank of the Temo river, less than a kilometre from its centre in a straight line. It is the only town in Sardinia built on a riverbank, and its population has held at around 8,000 for a long time. It is listed among «The most beautiful villages of Italy». Ancient tombs and stone towers show the area was lived in since prehistory, and it was probably founded by the Phoenicians. Houses painted blue, pink, yellow and green climb the hillside beneath a medieval castle, with the riverbank, fishing boats and an old stone bridge in front and green hills and plateaus around. Visitors wander the steep narrow lanes and small squares and climb to the castle for views over the river and the sea. Bosa Marina beach is close by on the sea.
