Davutpaşa Barracks (Turkish: Davutpaşa Kışlası) were Ottoman Army barracks built in the 1800s and located at Davutpaşa neighborhood of Esenler district on the European part of Istanbul, Turkey. The building was used later as a shelter for immigrants during the Balkan Wars and as a military hospital during World War I. Today, it serves as a campus of Yıldız Technical University after its redevelopment.[1]
