Bosa did not get rich from the sea but from leather. On the left bank of the Temo, facing the old town, stand the old Sas Conzas tanneries: a row of two-storey buildings of stone, mud and lime, with façades of red trachyte, reflected in the water beside the Ponte Vecchio. They are Bosa's other postcard, the one you see head-on when you come down from the castle.
What they were
Tanning of hides in Bosa goes back, according to tradition, to Roman times. About thirty tanneries came to operate along the river, and the trade had its best moment between the late 19th and mid 20th centuries, when the trade in hides, along with that of the valley's fruit, tuna and wine, made Bosa one of the most prosperous centres in Sardinia. The river water served for washing and working the hides; the open upper floors, for drying them. The complex was declared a national monument in 1989.
The Museo delle Conce
One of the tanneries, from the 18th century, on Via Sas Conzas, is now the Museo delle Conce. It is the only building in the complex that can be visited inside, and it tells the story of the trade that fed half the town. It is a small museum: with an hour, walk included, you have plenty.
It is run by the Fondazione Bosa. Since 13 July 2026 it has been open every day from 10:00 to 18:00, without the Monday closure it had before. The way to pay is the €12 combined ticket (€9 reduced), which includes the Malaspina castle and the Casa Deriu; separately, the three tickets add up to €17. Outside summer, confirm the hours at the information point in the Casa Deriu.
The walk along the bank
Even if you do not enter the museum, cross the Ponte Vecchio and walk along the tanneries bank: from here you have the full view of the town, the Corso and Sa Costa rising to the castle. At sunset, the red façades light up and the coloured fishing boats are backlit. The Hotel Palazzo Pischedda and the Ristorante Sa Pischedda are on this same bank.
