The tower was built at the end of 1800 by the Monteleone architect Filidio Lemmi using bricks manufactured in local kilns, which give the building a warm and harmonious tone.

In the tower is the large clockface whose hands were moved by an elaborate and monumental pendulum machine; its stone weights, descending along the tower, gave movement to the mechanism. The facade is further embellished by a bas-relief, also in brick, representing the coat of arms of Monteleone, made by Prof. Michele Lemmi.
