The intervention will consist of cleaning the structures of the western thermal baths that formed the western front of the city in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis of the state of conservation with which to draw up a comprehensive consolidation and museum project.  Eventually, archaeological surveys could be carried out to determine the state of conservation of some of the walls or pavements. The structures are currently in an advanced state of degradation, with the walls and paving in danger of collapse, and this action will be the beginning of the definitive recovery of this important building of the Roman Ilici.
