The Qishla of Jeddah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Qishla of Jeddah (Turkish: Cidde Redif Kışlası) was built in 1525 to be a military castle of the Ottoman army in Jeddah (nowadays in Saudi Arabia). The building is located in the Old city until now.
Today the small castle is a place to receive requests of youth guys to join the Saudi Army and the other military branches.
Qishla(modern Turkish: Kışla) is a Turkish word meaning barracks.
