Davutpaşa Barracks, Military barracks in Esenler, Turkey.
The stone-built Davutpaşa Barracks extends across a large area in the European section of Istanbul, featuring multiple architectural structures and courtyards.
Built during Sultan Mahmud II's reign in the 1800s, the Ottoman Army barracks later served as an immigrant shelter during the Balkan Wars and a military hospital in World War I.
The buildings represent a period of military modernization in Ottoman history, displaying architectural elements from both local traditions and European military constructions.
The former military complex now functions as part of Yıldız Technical University, housing educational facilities and academic programs within its renovated structures.
The transformation from a military facility to an educational institution has maintained the original stone architecture while adapting interior spaces for modern academic requirements.
