Gozo's Qbajjar Battery will be handed over to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the heritage conservation group. The transfer ensures the historic fortification will be properly maintained and preserved for future generations.

Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be handed over to Din l-Art Ħelwa, marking an important milestone for the conservation of the island's architectural heritage. The historic fortification will now fall under the care of the respected heritage organisation, which has built a strong reputation for preserving Malta's cultural treasures across both islands [1].

The handover represents a significant step forward in safeguarding one of Gozo's notable military structures, ensuring that this piece of the island's fortified history will be properly maintained and potentially opened up for public appreciation and education [1].

Din l-Art Ħelwa, which means 'This Beautiful Land' in Maltese, has demonstrated its commitment to protecting and restoring historic sites throughout the Maltese archipelago. The organisation's track record of sensitive restoration work and public engagement makes it a fitting custodian for the Qbajjar Battery [1].

The decision to entrust the battery to Din l-Art Ħelwa reflects broader efforts to ensure that Gozo's rich military heritage is preserved for future generations. The move allows the heritage organisation to add another important site to its portfolio of protected monuments and historical buildings [1].
