In a significant move for cultural preservation on the island of Gozo, the Qbajjar Battery is set to be transferred to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national heritage organisation dedicated to protecting Malta's architectural and historical treasures [1].
The battery, a historic fortification with strategic importance to Gozo's defensive heritage, represents another important site coming under the care of Din l-Art Ħelwa. The handover underscores the growing commitment to safeguarding Gozo's rich military and architectural legacy for future generations [1].
This move reflects broader efforts across the Maltese islands to ensure that significant historical structures receive proper maintenance and preservation. Din l-Art Ħelwa has built a reputation for restoring and maintaining numerous heritage sites across Malta and Gozo, ensuring these landmarks remain accessible and protected [1].
The Qbajjar Battery joins a collection of other fortifications and heritage sites under Din l-Art Ħelwa's stewardship, contributing to the organisation's mission of preserving the architectural identity of our islands.
