Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be handed over to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national heritage organization, marking a significant development for the preservation of one of the island's historical fortifications [1].
The transfer represents an important step in ensuring that this coastal battery, which forms part of Gozo's rich military heritage, will be properly maintained and potentially opened up for public access and cultural appreciation [1].
Din l-Art Ħelwa, known for its dedicated work in safeguarding Malta's architectural and historical treasures, will now take on the responsibility of caring for this strategic structure that stands as a testament to the island's complex past [1].
The handover underscores the ongoing commitment to preserve Gozo's cultural landmarks and make them accessible to both locals and visitors who wish to understand the island's defensive architecture and historical significance [1].
