The Roman Basilica of Tindari represents a unique case within the Mediterranean archaeological heritage due to both its architectural features and the innovative consolidation techniques adopted during the 1970s. As part of a research program carried out by the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence and the Archaeological Park of Tindari, a new digital survey campaign (UAV photogrammetry and laser scanning) conducted in 2026 enabled a comparison between the current conservation state and data acquired in 2020. The analyses revealed a significant worsening of deterioration phenomena and the emergence of structural damage likely related to the prestressing steel cable system installed during the last anastylosis intervention, highlighting the need for an extensive monitoring program and the development of new conservation strategies.
