Torre di Bosa Marina was built in the mid-16th century on the trachytic outcrops of Isola Rossa to defend the mouth of the Temo and the city. most exposed to dangers and also the most coveted by enemy incursions. At the time of construction, the rock on which the tower stands were separated from the mainland: hence the name of Isola Rossa. With the construction of the railway track that allowed the transport of goods to boats, it was joined to the mainland. The period of operation continued until the mid-nineteenth century, when the Kingdom of Italy decided to dispose of it.

The church itself is kind of unremarkable, but the hypogeum is fantastic. The hypogeum was used as a water cult site in the Roman era (though the site seems to have been used similarly in the Phoenician/Punic and Nuragic periods as well) and the walls are decorated with drawings of animals, gladiators, and deities among a host of other things. I've been to a lot of Roman sites, but I've never seen anything quite like this, it is certainly quite unique. The village and church are so unassuming, it's easy to miss this gem.
