The Baglio Chiarelli-La Lumia is located in the Manostalla-Sicciarotta district and its construction dates back to the beginning of the nineteenth century. At the south-east corner of the baglio, there is a tower, probably from the seventeenth century, subsequently incorporated into the construction of the baglio, which due to its position must have been part of the network of coastal towers that dot the Gulf of Castellammare
