A tower was first built at the present site in the eighth century as a watch tower for the dock which then occupied what is now the Piazzetta dei Leoncini. It was repeatedly rebuilt over the succeeding centuries.
The campanile reached its present form in 1514. As it stands today, however, the tower is a reconstruction, completed in 1912 after the collapse of 1902.
The 100 metre-high tower consists of a sturdy brick shaft, an observation platform, a section housing the five bells, and a pyramidal spire, topped by a golden angel weathervane.
