Apponale Tower

The Apponale tower is located on the eastern side of the main square in the centre of Riva, Piazza III Novembre. It is 34 metres high and was first built in the 16th century before being renovated in the 1920s when North Garda became part of Italy, which is why the renovation removed the traditional Germanic onion dome and replaced it with a straight roof. Look out for the small bronze angel waving on top of the tower: it is called "Anzolim" and is the symbol of Riva del Garda.
