Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be transferred to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the independent heritage organisation dedicated to safeguarding Malta's architectural and cultural treasures [1].
The handover represents an important step in ensuring the long-term preservation of this significant fortification, which forms part of Gozo's rich military heritage. Din l-Art Ħelwa, known for its meticulous restoration work across the Maltese islands, will take on the responsibility of maintaining and protecting the battery for future generations [1].
The Qbajjar Battery stands as a testament to the island's strategic importance throughout history, and its transfer to the heritage organisation signals a commitment to keeping these important structures accessible and well-preserved for Gozitans and visitors alike [1].
This move underscores the vital partnership between government entities and heritage organisations in safeguarding Malta's invaluable historical sites.
Din l-Art Ħelwa has long been at the forefront of heritage conservation across the Maltese archipelago, managing numerous historical sites and ensuring they remain protected for posterity [1].
