A military barracks or garrison where soldiers are stationed; also a quarter or district of a city.
From Spanish 'cuartel,' derived from Latin 'quartus' (fourth), originally meaning a fourth part or quarter, extended to military quarters.
During medieval times, armies would divide cities into 'cuarteles' for quartering troops—the word 'quarantine' actually comes from the same Latin root as 'cuartel'!
