The belfry is located at the southwest side of the Metropolitan Church of St. John the Baptist, in the old city of Xanthi. It has three floors, five bells and it is built of reinforced mixed concrete, combining a mixture of classical and Byzantine characteristics. The current belfry replaced an older that was located at the northwest of the temple. The shape of the old belfry, which, in comparison to the later, is more slender, can be seen in a postcard that dates back in 1920. The earlier belfry had four floors, of which the three higher had round shape, numerous large openings that were stepped onto two rectangular pedestals. Nowadays, the belfry is preserved in a very good condition. During the temple’s renovation period (1995 - 1996), Sultana Rassa, a wealthy citizen, donated for the interventions that were made to the belfry (addition of five bells).
