enclave
Land within land
An enclave is a territory entirely surrounded by another territory—a pocket of one country within another's borders, or a distinct area within a larger region.
The word extends to any group or space set apart from its surroundings: an ethnic enclave in the city, an enclave of wealth in a poor neighborhood.
The defining feature is isolation or distinctiveness within a surrounding whole.
