Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be transferred to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national heritage organisation, marking an important step in preserving one of the island's significant historical fortifications [1].

The handover represents a commitment to safeguarding this piece of Gozo's military heritage for future generations. Din l-Art Ħelwa, known for its dedicated work in protecting Malta's cultural and architectural treasures, will assume responsibility for the battery's conservation and management [1].

The Qbajjar Battery stands as a testament to Gozo's strategic importance throughout history, and its transfer to Din l-Art Ħelwa ensures that this landmark will receive the professional care and attention it deserves. The organisation has a proven track record of restoring and maintaining heritage sites across the Maltese islands [1].

This development comes as part of broader efforts to preserve Gozo's rich historical landscape and make these sites accessible to both locals and visitors. The battery joins a growing portfolio of heritage sites that Din l-Art Ħelwa actively manages and protects [1].
