The North West has one of the highest concentrations of Paleolithic Nuraghic culture. If you are interested in seeing some examples we have 2 of the best examples nearby within easy driving distance from Bosa.

Nuraghe di Santa Cristina is very easily reached as it is located right off SS131. It’s an important complex that dates to the Bronze Age, and you’ll be able to see the best-preserved well temple of Sardinia. This is accessed via a very steep staircase of 24 incredibly well-preserved steps.

On the other side of the nuraghic village, Nuraghe Santa Cristina is a single tower of about 7 meters located in a beautiful olive grove.

Another nuraghe that can be visited from Bosa is Nuraghe Losa, one of the best preserved in Sardinia. It dates to around 1500 BC and the central tower is about 13 meters tall.

Heading up the hill inland you will pass the village of Tinnura. You will encounter innumerable murals that reflect the local life of Sardinians and their traditions. Most of the murals were painted by a local female artist who still lives there (recognisable by a blue bicycle near her studio).

The village itself is very colourful and delightful to stop and go through. The local pizzeria, Marcos is an excellent choice for Pizza and pasta for the whole family at a reasonable price.

Known to be one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Bosa, Sardinia counts no more than 8500 inhabitants, colourful buildings, a hilltop castle and a river flowing right through the village..
