Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be handed over to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national heritage organization dedicated to preserving Malta's architectural and cultural treasures [1].
The transfer represents a significant step in safeguarding one of the island's important historical structures. Din l-Art Ħelwa, known for its meticulous restoration work and commitment to maintaining our islands' built heritage, will take on the responsibility of managing and preserving this fortified site [1].
Qbajjar Battery stands as a testament to Gozo's military past, reflecting the strategic importance the island has held throughout centuries. The handover to Din l-Art Ħelwa ensures that the battery will be properly maintained and made accessible for future generations to appreciate and learn from [1].
This development comes as part of broader efforts to protect and celebrate the unique architectural landmarks that define Gozo's character and historical significance within the Maltese islands [1].
