The tower was built in the first half of XVI century in a small islet at the mouth of the river Temo, and protected the anchorage of the commercial vessels which at that time could not enter anymore the river and reach the medieval port of Bosa which was obstructed. Bosa (in north-west Sardinia) was an important commercial city since medieval times and was subjected to the raids of the Moors. The tower continued to be operative until 1846.
ITALIANO
Situata su un’isoletta alla foce del fiume Temo la torre costituiva nel ‘500 una valida difesa per i vascelli commerciali che ormeggiavano nei pressi, essendo ormai irraggiungibile il porto medievale di Bosa. Assolse funzioni doganali, sanitarie e di guardia del porto, con autorizzazione alla riscossione dei diritti di ancoraggio. Era in contatto ottico con le torri Argenitna e Columbargia, il Castello Serravalle e la guardia di Capo Marrargiu.
La Torre fu edificata nella prima metà del XVI secolo e rimase attiva sino al 1846.

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.
