In a significant move for cultural heritage preservation on our sister island, Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be handed over to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national organisation dedicated to protecting Malta's architectural and natural heritage [1].

The Qbajjar Battery stands as one of Gozo's important historical fortifications, representing a chapter of the islands' military and defensive past. The transfer of this coastal structure to Din l-Art Ħelwa marks a recognition of the organisation's expertise and commitment to safeguarding our heritage for future generations [1].

This handover comes as part of broader efforts to ensure that Gozo's historical sites receive proper maintenance and are made accessible to residents and visitors alike. Din l-Art Ħelwa has long been instrumental in preserving similar fortifications and heritage sites across Malta and Gozo, bringing professional restoration and conservation practices to bear [1].

The move reflects an understanding that these structures, steeped in our islands' history, deserve dedicated care and management. For those interested in Gozo's past and its defensive architecture, the battery's stewardship by Din l-Art Ħelwa should ensure it remains a valued part of our shared cultural landscape [1].
