Sights in Bosa

    Chiesa di Nostra Signora di Regnos Altos

    Inside Castello Malaspina is the humble-looking chapel, the Chiesa di Nostra Signora di Regnos Altos, which houses an extraordinary and anonymous 14th-century fresco cycle, a veritable who's who of famous saints ranging from a giant St Christopher through a party of Franciscans to St Lawrence in the middle of his martyrdom on the grill.

    Castello Malaspina

    It’s quite a climb up to Bosa’s hilltop castle, Castello Malaspina, built in 1112 by a noble Tuscan family. Note that these opening times often change, and it might well be open for longer over summer.

    Sas Conzas

    Across the Ponte Vecchio line up the former 18th-century tanneries known as Sas Conzas, which were still in business shortly after WWII and are now a heritage site. One or two restaurants operate in them in summer.
