With the boat we reach Riva del Garda in about 30 minutes. At the arrival, we see the symbol of Riva del Garda: the Tower Apponale. The name is still mysterious given by the ancient builders. The first documents date its beginning around the year 1200, but it is surely ancienter and it was part of the principal defense system of the old city, together with the Fortress, with which it seems was in connection with a gallery which passed under the bottom of Lake Garda. 34 meters high, it allows a wide view on Riva del Garda and on Lake Garda; from the Tower we turn to the right to the Fortress “La Rocca”. La Rocca, a defensive castle of year 1100, holds the Civic Museum of Riva del Garda, with a beautiful pinacoteca and a lot of neolitical, Etruscan and Roman testimonies. The Archaeological section, whose areas of reference is constituted by Lake Garda, from the Monte Baldo and from the southern area of the valley Sarca, offers rare pieces as the enigmatic statues, the precious crowns in bronze, the vases in glass and terracottas. Very interesting it is also the small museum Villino Campi. The building, in liberty style, is reachable walking along the beach. Periodically shows and initiatives of popularization and sensitization are held on the thematics of the lake habitat and of the water-cycle, with particular reference to the ecosystem of Lake Garda. Also to see: street Via Fiume and the square Piazza delle Erbe. Via Fiume, is the ancient road which near the medioeval boundaries connected the commercial harbour with the city allowing the transit of commodities. On its sides opened the merchants’ and artisans’ shops, now replaced from commercial shops and typical restaurants. Piazza delle Erbe was the place traditionally reserved for the stands exposing the land products: flowers, fruits, vegetables, cheeses, honey. Today, Piazza delle Erbe is the heart of the city, where the people go to have a chat, to know someone and to look around.
