Riva del Garda Museum | Castles
Arco | Drena | Dro | Nago | Tenno | Torbole |
	Riva is the place where the lake ends to make room for the mountains. The scenery, which has very unique colours, is dominated by green Mediterranean vegetation and blue water. Riva had already acquired international tourist acclaim for these special features in the second half of the nineteenth century, when it was rediscovered by the Central European elite and became the holiday destination of celebrated names such as Kafka, Nietzsche and Mann. The square and the Torre Apponale (Apponale tower) look out onto the port where the medieval part of the city begins with palaces, colonnades, gates and the remains of the city walls that once surrounded Riva. Nearby, the Rocca overlooks the lake. It was built in 1124 and today is the site of the town museum. The Ponale Hydroelectric Station, designed by the architect Giancarlo Maroni and inaugurated by D'Annunzio, is at the foot of Mount Rochetta; while the Bastion, a Venetian Renaissance fortress, keeps guard just above.
