The tall Romanesque red brick campanile or bell tower, forty-five meters in height, was completed about 1150. It is in an odd position, but this is because it re-used the ancient masonry of the southernmost corner of the porticoed temenos enclosure of the Temple of the Divine Claudius. Hence, the first storey consists of large, weathered ashlar blocks of travertine of monumental appearance.
