In a significant move for heritage preservation on the island, Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be handed over to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national organisation dedicated to safeguarding Malta's architectural and natural heritage [1].
The Qbajjar Battery stands as an important part of Gozo's defensive fortifications, representing a key chapter in the island's strategic history. By entrusting its care to Din l-Art Ħelwa, authorities are ensuring that this historic structure will receive the professional stewardship and resources needed for its preservation and restoration [1].
Din l-Art Ħelwa has long been at the forefront of heritage conservation across the Maltese islands, managing numerous sites of cultural and historical significance. The organisation's involvement with the Qbajjar Battery signals a commitment to making this site accessible and properly maintained for both current and future generations of Gozitans [1].
This decision reflects ongoing efforts to recognise and protect Gozo's rich military and architectural legacy, ensuring that landmarks like the Qbajjar Battery continue to tell the story of the island's past for years to come [1].
