The construction was begun in 1153 by Diotisalvi, architect of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, but was completed after a century due to the interruption of the works by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano: this is why the building displays a characteristic mix of two styles, the Romanesque and the Gothic.

The tower began to lean during construction in the 12th century, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's weight. It worsened through the completion of construction in the 14th century. The structure was stabilized by remedial work between 1993 and 2001.]]>
