Bosa was founded by the Phoenicians and was one of the most important populated centres of Sardinia. In roman times the town was on the left bank of the river Temo, in the surrounding area of San Pietro Extra Muros. In 1112 Malaspina Castle was built on top of the Serravalle hill and the new town of Bosa followed, being build on the hill below the castle. The medieval quarter of Sa Costa remains to this day as the wonderful historic centre of Bosa. Under the Spanish Bosa became one of the most important and affluent towns in Sardinia. The Savoy brought economic prosperity to Bosa and it was a grand town in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
