Explanation:
This means "a house or building with its grounds, etc. (as well as a building housing a business, etc.)- New Shorter Oxford dictionary
Therefore, it covers the whole area, not just inside or just outside.

recinto. (Del lat. re y cinctus, cercado, rodeado).
1. m. Espacio comprendido dentro de ciertos límites.

It does not specify that these limits are either inside or outside, just limits, i.e. a defined area.

Explanation:
