“There remains to add,” writes Sigfried Grän OFM in ‘Noah, the Builder of the Ark and Inventor of Viticulture,’ “what we omitted above in our summary of the Noah story. Noah not only survives the Flood and, after his rescue, offers a burnt offering to the Creator, but he also incidentally becomes the inventor of viticulture. (...) In ancient Israel, the grapevine was considered the noblest of all plants. To own a vineyard, to enjoy its fruit, and to be able to rest in the peace of its shade was... the epitome of a happy and blessed existence.” (Source: “In the Land of the Lord. Franciscan Journal for the Holy Land,” Issue 4/2024)

The road is not paved for the last kilometer or so, before the Tower.

The watchtower of Bosa, which stands majestically on a rock in front of the town of Bosa, is unfortunately no longer accessible. From the beach you can only get to the foot of the tower. Below the watchtower you can still find old positions and gun emplacements that bear witness to a dark past. In World War II, the gun emplacements kept attackers from entering the harbor. Overall it is quite beautiful, although the view of the watchtower is more beautiful from a distance than from close up!

Punta Foghe represents the spectacular result of millennia of natural erosion: the plateau extends down to the sea, forming a majestic cliff with islets and small coves that enrich the scene. A unique element is given by the river which, before flowing into the sea, moves, failing to erode the basalt of the cliff. At the center of this natural setting is the Foghe tower, a Spanish lookout structure built at the end of the 16th century and decommissioned in the mid-19th century. Built of basalt and red vulcanite ashlars, the tower integrates in a fascinating way with the surrounding environment. From the tower, there are great views, with other coastal towers visible along the coast.

Worthwhile excursion on gravel roads

The Bosa tower is the most majestic of the coastal towers that dot the stretch of coast of Planargia and Montiferru. Built during the period of Spanish domination in Sardinia, its construction was motivated by the need to protect the city of Bosa and its river port, among the most important in Aragonese Sardinia. This defense was aimed at countering the incursions and pirate attacks that plagued the Mediterranean, especially after the expulsion of the Moriscos from Spain in 1502. The coastal toponyms, such as Cala 'e Moros (Cove of the Moors), still bear witness to these incursions today, recalling the era of the Turkish-Barbarian pirates, as well as Cala Rapina (Cala del Saccheggio).

Visiting Bosa is absolutely recommended
