Palazzo Boyl is located in Cagliari in the historic center of Castello and is one of the most important and representative buildings of the city both from a historical and artistic point of view. Designed and built in 1840 in neoclassical style by the Marquis of Putifigari Carlo Pilo Boyl, over the years it has undergone several changes and renovations. In the front part of the building there is a marble balustrade interspersed with four statues that symbolize the seasons while in the central part the noble coat of arms of the family is carved where the reference to the Pilo family is given by a hand holding a tuft of hair (pilu in Sardinian), to the Boyl family by the effigy of the bull (boi in Sardinian) and to the house of Aragon (red poles on a golden background). The Pisan Lion Tower was incorporated into the central body of this building, which was significantly damaged three times during the British bombing in 1708, by the Spaniards in 1717 and by the French in 1793. As evidence of these attacks suffered. , currently on the facade, three cannon balls are clearly visible. Inside the palace, you can see a Roman funerary star walled up in the tower with other inscriptions. Towards the end of the 19th century, the building became the property of the Rossi family as symbolized by the "R" carved on some windows. Now the property belongs to the counts of the Marche region Tomassini Barbarossa.
