The Great Drain, which was built in Roman times, helps prevent flooding in the city. Experts believe it is in good condition, but extensions constructed in later centuries are in need of repair. Now the entire drain will be inspected, allowing archaeologists, for the first time, to completely study the structure and its secrets.
