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 cultural treasures [1].
The handover represents an important development for the protection and future management of this historic coastal fortification, which has long been part of Gozo's defensive heritage [1].
Din l-Art Ħelwa's involvement promises renewed focus on the battery's preservation and its accessibility to the public. The organisation has a proven track record of restoring and maintaining similar historical sites across the Maltese islands [1].
This move reflects ongoing efforts to ensure that Gozo's architectural heritage remains protected and properly cared for, allowing future generations to appreciate the island's rich military and historical significance [1].
