The Torre Apponale stands on the east side of Piazza 3 Novembre in the old town of Riva del Garda, right by the city's old harbor. To the east of the tower is the Rocca, the water castle, and to the west is the Palazzo Pretorio. The tower was once part of the city fortifications, which lay within the city walls and had the specific task of protecting the harbor of Riva.

At least two of these towers were also built in Riva by the Bonvicino and Bellastilla families, although construction had been restricted by both the Prince-Bishop of Trent and the Emperor.
