Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be transferred to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national heritage foundation dedicated to preserving Malta's architectural and cultural treasures [1].
The handover represents an important milestone for the protection and maintenance of this historic fortification, which stands as a reminder of Gozo's strategic significance throughout the centuries. Din l-Art Ħelwa's stewardship of the battery will ensure that this piece of Gozitan heritage is preserved for future generations and made accessible to those interested in the island's military history [1].
The transfer underscores the growing collaboration between government authorities and heritage organizations in safeguarding Malta's and Gozo's historic sites. Din l-Art Ħelwa has long championed the conservation of nationally important buildings and structures, and this addition to their portfolio strengthens their role as custodians of our shared cultural legacy [1].
For the Gozitan community, the news brings renewed hope that the Qbajjar Battery will receive the attention and resources it deserves to remain a vital part of the island's historical landscape.
