The 5 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Bosa, Sardinia
Bosa is a town and comune in the province of Oristano (until May 2005 it was in the province of Nuoro), part of the Sardinia region of Italy. Bosa is situated about two-thirds of the way up the west coast of Sardinia, on a small hill, about 3 kilometres (2 miles) inland on the north bank of the Temo River. The town has maintained a population of around 8,000 people for a significant amount of time, but has an urban character that has differentiated it from other locations in Sardinia. Agriculture and fishing play an important part in the city economy, thanks to the river valley near the coast surrounded by hills and highland plateaus.

The Casa Deriu Museum in Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 59 tells the story of life in a noble house in the heart of the city of Bosa. Refurbished in 1838, the House retains the original furnishings, the spaces intended for the servants, and the linen with embroidery and filet, the pride of the Bosa artisans. The house is spread over three levels. The first floor is reserved for temporary exhibitions. The noble floor, the manor house, is an intact example of a nineteenth-century house for high-income families, in use until a recent past with largely original furnishings. The circular path goes through the living room, the bedroom, the walk-in closet (wardrobe), the dining room. The servants' lodgings are still present and undergoing restoration. Also on display are 18 works from the Capuchin Convent of Bosa and belonging to the Fund for religious buildings: oil paintings on canvas and polychrome wooden statues. On the third floor there is a precious collection of works by Melchiorre Melis

4.5 based on 59 reviews
The Tanneries are a symbol of proto-industrial archeology of Sardinia. The Museo delle Conce was built in one of the best-preserved buildings dating back to 1700. Some buildings still stand along the left bank of the Temo, the row alignment of the factories is one of the most famous images of Bosa. The path shows the processing techniques. The visitor can walk on the glass surface that covers the original tanks and identify with the hard daily toil of the workers immersed in water and lime, intent on manipulating the fresh leathers, until obtaining the highest quality productions that they made, for almost a century, of town of Bosa, the capital of tanneries in Italy and abroad.
