Torre Apponale, Medieval clock tower in Piazza III Novembre, Riva del Garda, Italy
The Torre Apponale reaches 34 meters in height and contains 165 steps leading to an observation platform overlooking Lake Garda and the town center.
The Bonvicini family constructed the tower in the 13th century, but Prince-Bishop Federico Vanga opposed its construction until negotiations led to ownership transfer.
The bronze wind vane at the top, shaped as an angel named Anzolim de la Tor, functions as a recognized symbol of the entire Riva del Garda community.
The tower opens daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM between March and November, with admission costing 2 euros for adults and free entry for children under 15.
The tower underwent modifications in the 1920s, replacing its original onion-shaped roof with a four-pitched design influenced by northern European bell towers.
