Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be handed over to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national heritage organisation dedicated to preserving Malta's architectural and natural treasures [1].
The transfer represents an important moment for cultural heritage preservation on the island. Qbajjar Battery stands as a reminder of Gozo's strategic importance throughout history, and entrusting it to Din l-Art Ħelwa ensures the structure will receive proper care and management for future generations [1].
Din l-Art Ħelwa has long championed the restoration and preservation of Malta's historic buildings and sites. The organisation's track record demonstrates a commitment to maintaining our islands' rich architectural heritage while making these spaces accessible to the public [1].
For Gozitans and heritage enthusiasts alike, this development signals renewed efforts to safeguard one of Gozo's distinctive landmarks. The battery's preservation aligns with growing recognition of the importance of protecting the island's coastal fortifications and the stories they tell about our past [1].
