Gozo's Qbajjar Battery is set to be handed over to Din l-Art Ħelwa, the national heritage organization that has built a reputation for safeguarding Malta's architectural and cultural treasures across the islands [1].
The move marks another significant step in ensuring that one of Gozo's important historical fortifications receives the specialized care and attention it deserves. Din l-Art Ħelwa has demonstrated its commitment to preserving the island's heritage through years of dedicated restoration work on various sites.
The Qbajjar Battery, a coastal defensive structure with roots in Malta's military history, will benefit from the organization's expertise in heritage conservation. This handover reflects growing recognition of the importance of entrusting our shared historical assets to organizations with proven track records in preservation and public engagement.
For Gozitans and heritage enthusiasts alike, this development represents a positive step toward ensuring that the battery remains accessible and properly maintained for future generations to appreciate and learn from [1].
