embassy compound
Foreign mission grounds
An embassy compound is the enclosed grounds containing an embassy building and its associated facilities—residences, offices, security structures, and support buildings.
The compound functions as a secure, self-contained diplomatic zone on foreign soil: Protesters gathered outside the embassy compound.
Staff evacuated to the embassy compound when fighting broke out.
