An important piece of Gozo's military heritage is set to find a new custodian. The Qbajjar Battery, a historic fortification on the island, will be handed over to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national heritage organization dedicated to preserving Malta's architectural and cultural treasures [1].

The transfer marks a significant moment for heritage preservation in Gozo, entrusting the care of this strategic battery to an organization with a proven track record of maintaining and protecting similar sites across the Maltese islands. Din l-Art Ħelwa has long been at the forefront of conservation efforts, working to ensure that structures of historical importance are maintained for future generations [1].

The Qbajjar Battery stands as a testament to Gozo's strategic importance throughout history, and this handover represents a commitment to preserving the island's rich military and cultural legacy. With Din l-Art Ħelwa now taking responsibility, locals can expect continued efforts to maintain this historic site and potentially enhance public access and education around its significance [1].
