The lively, fashionable holiday resort of Riva del Garda is surrounded by mighty mountains on the narrow northern tip of Lake Garda.
With around 13,000 inhabitants, it is the second largest town on the lake after Desenzano. It has only belonged to Italy since 1919 and was under Austrian rule for a long time before that. This can still be felt and results in a pleasant mixture of Italian lightness and Tyrolean down-to-earthness.
The Torre Apponale towers over Riva del Garda on the eastern side of Piazza Tre Novembre. This building was once part of the city walls of Riva and was used to defend the harbour Porto ad Ponalem during the 13th century. To fulfil this task, the Torre Apponale (or Apponale Tower) was built in 1220 by the Bonvicino brothers using ashlars of different sizes.
Lake Garda, one of the northern Italian lakes, is the largest lake in Italy, named after the municipality of Garda on the eastern shore. The northern shore of the lake is surrounded by the two-thousand metre peaks of the Garda mountains, such as Monte Baldo, while the southern shore lies in the northern Italian lowlands.
