The building, with outer marble punctuated by high arcades on pilasters and human heads arches on the attack by followers of Giovanni Pisano, was built starting in 1277 by Giovanni di Simone, as indicated by the Latin inscription placed on the side of the the right portal. In the 14th century the internal arches, arches, were closed by four lights. In 1594, the chapel was erected on the eastern side of the well.
