Gozo's historic Qbajjar Battery will be handed over to Din l-Art Ħelwa for preservation and stewardship. The cultural heritage organisation will take responsibility for maintaining the important fortification and making it accessible to the public.

Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be transferred to Din l-Art Ħelwa, marking an important development for the preservation of the island's architectural heritage [1].

The handover represents a significant step in ensuring that this historic fortification will be properly maintained and made accessible to the people of Gozo and visitors alike. Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national cultural heritage organisation, has built a strong track record of safeguarding Malta's historic sites and monuments across the islands.

The Qbajjar Battery stands as a testament to Gozo's strategic military importance throughout history. With Din l-Art Ħelwa taking on stewardship of the site, there are hopes that the battery can be restored and eventually opened to the public, allowing Gozitans and tourists to experience this piece of local history firsthand.

This move demonstrates the continued commitment to preserving Gozo's rich cultural heritage, ensuring that important historical structures are protected for future generations [1].
