The author is speaking as if the stonework of the palace buildings extended from them to the great courtyard that was outside of them. He means that the wall of the great courtyard had stones and workmanship of the same quality as those in the buildings it surrounded. The author does not mean that the entire courtyard was paved with stones. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and the workers used the same kind of stonework to build the wall of the great courtyard outside]
