In a small castle, the entire structure is considered the "keep." This is
where the interior spaces lie. However, in a larger castle, the structure
is actually a complex of smaller buildings, the largest of which is usually
the "keep" (basically similar to a small, compact castle). Then, there
might be chapels, stables, servants quarters, etc. Each of these units is
often in a separate building.
Surrounding all the buildings is the "curtain wall" This is simply a "big
wall" that surrounds and protects everything.
A famouse castle of this type is in England and is called Windsor Castle.
Here is a link:

Unfortunately, they don't have any arial shots, but you can probably find
some on the web that show how there is a wall around a large complex of
buildings.
Hope that helps,
Brad
