Bosa joins the 'Turismo dei Borghi' program: €2.5M for historic centre

Bosa included in the 'Turismo dei Borghi' program with funding for the historic centre

Bosa has been selected for the regional Turismo dei Borghi initiative and will benefit from a €2.5 million fund spread over three years. The programme focuses on enhancing the historic core and strengthening the town's appeal through heritage conservation and improved visitor services.

Planned measures

The funding supports five main measures aimed at improving the cultural and tourist offer:

• Artistic lighting of key historic buildings to enhance the town's visual identity in the evening.
• Restoration and repurposing of the Youth Hostel to expand accommodation options for young and sustainable travellers.
• Upgrading the Civic Theatre to reinforce its role as an all-year cultural hub.
• Deployment of an integrated digital information system to make routes, events and services easier to access.
• Historic centre improvements focused on traffic flow and underground services to increase usability and comfort.

What this means for visitors and local businesses

The measures aim to make Bosa more accessible and attractive to national and international visitors. Improved lodging options and digital tools will simplify trip planning and support year-round cultural activities, helping to reduce seasonality.

Timing and coordination

Funding will be released through a framework agreement that will enable project implementation in the coming administrative phases; works are planned across a three-year timespan. The interventions are designed to complement the existing initiatives along the Itinerary of the 7 Royal Cities, ensuring territorial synergy.

Quality, sustainability and territorial strategy

Local authorities stress that Bosa’s inclusion reflects the town's high-quality historical and landscape assets. Investments will prioritize heritage conservation, sustainable services and territorial marketing strategies to strengthen Bosa’s reputation as a quality destination.

Practical tips for visitors

• Check the municipal website for updates on works and opening hours of cultural venues.
• Use the new digital information tools to plan walking routes and guided visits.
• If you operate locally, consider partnerships for cultural events and sustainable hospitality projects.
