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 natural treasures [1].
This handover represents a significant step forward in ensuring the long-term conservation and public access to one of Gozo's important historical fortifications. The battery, which dates back centuries, has been a notable landmark in the Gozitan landscape, and its transfer to Din l-Art Ħelwa promises enhanced preservation efforts [1].
Din l-Art Ħelwa has a proven track record of managing and maintaining numerous heritage sites across Malta and Gozo, working to make these cultural landmarks accessible to both residents and visitors. The organisation's involvement with the Qbajjar Battery underscores the commitment to safeguarding the island's rich military and architectural heritage [1].
The transfer of the battery to the heritage organisation is expected to open new possibilities for restoration work, educational programmes, and visitor experiences that showcase Gozo's strategic importance throughout history.
