Description	The Basilica Cistern, the largest ancient cistern beneath Istanbul, has been reinforced by the local Istanbul municipality. Measures include lowering water levels to reduce weight on columns, removing excess concrete from roof and arches, filling cracks with injections, supporting columns with metal ties, and installing a steel system with 630 bearings between 2020 and 2022. Experts suggest more advanced technology is needed for retrofitting, but political and preservation challenges exist.
