Gozo's historic Qbajjar Battery will be handed over to Din l-Art Ħelwa for conservation and preservation. The heritage organisation will take stewardship of the important coastal fortification as part of broader efforts to protect the island's architectural treasures.

Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be transferred to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national heritage organisation dedicated to preserving Malta's architectural and cultural treasures [1].

The handover represents an important step in ensuring the long-term conservation and public access to this significant fortification, which forms part of Gozo's rich military heritage. The battery stands as a testament to the island's strategic importance throughout history, and its transfer to Din l-Art Ħelwa signals a commitment to protecting these structures for future generations [1].

Din l-Art Ħelwa has built a strong track record across both Malta and Gozo in restoring and maintaining historic sites, making the organisation well-positioned to undertake the stewardship of this coastal fortification. The move is expected to enhance public understanding and appreciation of Gozo's defensive architecture [1].

This initiative reflects ongoing efforts to preserve the island's historical landmarks and make them accessible to both residents and visitors who wish to explore Gozo's fascinating past.
