One of the handful of known PMS eclipsing binaries is a component of the spectroscopic triple TY CrA. Its secondary component is particularly interesting since it is a star of relatively high mass (1.64 M⊙) which is still on the pre-main sequence. The eclipsing binary was analyzed in the optical wavelength range ~10 years ago, however, the crucial secondary eclipse minimum is very shallow. Therefore, we are obtaining new photometry in both optical and near-IR bands. We present first observations in (BVRI) which show that the secondary eclipse depth increases to about 0.1 mag in the I band. The increased eclipse depth with respect to other bands will help to better determine the colours and dimensions of the system. Furthermore, we show and discuss first near-IR observations of the primary eclipse. In addition to the light curves we are obtaining radial velocities in order to pin down the orbital parameters of the triple. Our first observations agree with the orbital parameters derived ~10 years ago.
