Kazalla or Kazallu (Ka-zal-luki) is the name given in Akkadian sources to a city in central Mesopotamia whose specific location is unknown.
Sargon laid the city of Kazalla to waste so effectively that "the birds could not find a place to perch away from the ground.
[7] The second ruler of the Akkadian Empire, Rimush, suppressed a revolt by Kazallu reporting: "Rimus, king of the world — the god Enlil did indeed grant kingship to him.
[8] The city was briefly under the control of Elam under Puzur-Inshushinak until Elam fell to Ur with the first Ur III ruler, Ur-Nammu writing "Then: Umma, Marda, Šubur, Kazallu, and their settlements, and whatsoever was oppressed by Anšan, verily, I established their freedom".
[19] A notable letter sent to Ibbi-Sin reads: "To Ibbi-Suen, my king, speak what Ishbl-Erra, your servant, says: I was charged with an expedition to Isin and Kazallu to buy grain.
...[20]In the Isin-Larsa period, between the fall of the Ur III empire until Hammurabi finally establishes supremacy for Babylon in the region, Kazallu is often mentioned in the conflicts of that time.
And Rîm-Anum, ruler of Uruk, reports in a year name "Year in which Rim-Anum the king defeated the land of Emutbal, the troops of Esznunna, Isin and Kazallu who marched together against him to make booty ... which was not counted since ancient times ... and defeated them".
According to a tablet from the reign of Gudea of Lagash, Kazallu was located somewhere to the west of Mesopotamia, in the land of Martu.
