The Qishla of Mecca (Turkish: Mekke Redif Kışlası) was a fortress in Mecca, in what is now Saudi Arabia. Built in the eighteenth century as a military castle of the Ottoman army, the building was located in the Jarwal district on the western side of the city.[1] In the early hours of 10 June 1916, the barracks was attacked by Sharifian forces and its soldiers besieged.[1]
