Description - The current campanile replaced the historic campanile that had been in operation since the 9th century, which underwent changes in the 12th century, and finally gained its final form between 1511 and 1514.
- The original campanile collapsed, due to its age and poor construction techniques, in 1902.
- The first stone for the tower was laid on April 25, 1903 and it was completed in 1912.
- The tower's exterior is a complete replica of the former tower, but the interior utilized modern engineering to make the tower more safe and stury.
