The tower was constructed between 1540 and 1550 to the design of Ludovico Beretta, a Brescian architect and one of the designers of the Palazzo della Loggia. In 1543 the present clock replaced the one built in the previous century. It houses a complex astronomical clock installed by Paolo Gennari from Rezzato between 1544 and 1546. The clock-face was realised by Gian Giacomo Lamberti in 1547, while the automatons, the Macc de le ure, were installed in 1581.

The clock-face was realised by Gian Giacomo Lamberti in 1547. The chapter ring of the dial is divided into twenty-four hours. The hour hand, which carries a golden sun, indicates the hour, and the Sun's position in the zodiac and the date on a ring inside the chapter ring. The centre of the dial shows the age and phase of the Moon, with lines indicating astrological aspects.
The clock visibly predates the Gregorian calendar reform in 1582 that suppressed ten days of the previous calendar: the position of the spring equinox is set to 11 March instead of 21 March.
