唐代永徽三年(公元652年), 玄奘法师为供奉从印度带回的佛像、 舍利和 梵文经典,在慈恩寺的西塔院建起一座五层砖塔。和宝鸡的法门寺因塔建寺相反,大雁塔则是因寺建塔。在武则天长安年间重建。后来又经过多次修整。大雁塔在唐代就是著名的游览胜地,因而留有大量文人雅士的题记,仅明、清朝时期的题名碑就有二百余通。大雁塔所在的大慈恩寺是唐代高僧玄奘专门从事译经和藏经之处。玄奘法师从天竺取回佛经,曾在慈恩寺主持寺务,以“恐人代不常,经本散失,兼防火难”并妥善安置经像舍利为由,拟于慈恩寺正门外造石塔一座,遂于唐永徽三年(公元652年)三月附图表上奏。 唐高宗由于 玄奘所规划浮图总高三十丈,以工程浩大难以成就,又不愿法师辛劳为由,恩准朝廷资助在寺西院建五层砖塔。此塔名雁塔,由于后来在长安荐福寺内修建了一座较小的雁塔,慈恩寺塔叫作大雁塔, 荐福寺塔叫作小雁塔,一直流传至今。大雁塔仿西域窣堵坡形制,砖面土心,不可攀登,每层皆存舍利。玄奘法师亲自主持建塔,历时两年建成。因砖表土心,风雨剥蚀,五十余年后塔身逐渐塌损。
武则天长安年间(公元720xx年—720xx年),女皇 武则天和王公贵族,施钱在原址上重新建造,新建为七层青砖塔(另一说,公元720xx年大雁塔改建成,塔增高至10层。公元931年,五代时后唐时期对大雁塔进行改建,降至七层)。唐末以后,慈恩寺寺院屡遭兵火,殿宇焚毁,只有大雁塔独存。
公元931年(五代后唐长兴二年)对大雁塔再次修葺。后来西安地区发生了几次大地震,大雁塔的塔顶震落,塔身震裂。(原先塔高11层) 人称“二圣三绝碑”。
