In a significant move for heritage preservation on the island of Gozo, the Qbajjar Battery is set to be transferred to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national organisation dedicated to protecting Malta's architectural and natural heritage [1].

The handover of this historic fortification marks an important step in ensuring the long-term protection and management of one of Gozo's notable defensive structures. Qbajjar Battery stands as a testament to the island's rich military history and strategic importance over the centuries [1].

Din l-Art Ħelwa, which has built a strong reputation for maintaining and restoring numerous heritage sites across the Maltese islands, will now be responsible for the preservation and upkeep of this significant landmark [1]. The organisation's involvement is expected to bring professional heritage management standards to the site, ensuring it remains accessible and well-preserved for future generations of Gozitans and visitors alike [1].

This development reflects a broader commitment to safeguarding Gozo's cultural and historical assets, ensuring that the stories embedded in structures like Qbajjar Battery continue to be told and remembered [1].
