In terms of terminology:

I reread the rules from this perspective.
The Castle, meaning the Human City, appears only in section II.3, which discusses choosing Castles. The Castle as a building within the city is not mentioned anywhere. I believe that adding a clarification would unnecessarily clutter the text.
In fact, the English version uses the word "castle" with the same meanings. I have never heard of it causing any difficulties in understanding.
There is also the Stronghold - both the Barbarian city and a building within the city...

Nevertheless, I will continue the discussion on this issue. :) Especially in light of the declared unification.
The rules are primarily aimed at beginners, or, let's say, people who are encountering this text for the first time. What seems obvious to a player with some experience may not be so obvious to a beginner.
In addition, the rule should be read as a law, strictly according to the letter. And if there is even the slightest possibility of interpreting the word "Castle" differently than in the author's version, then clarifications are needed. For example, in the form of a preamble, a list of terms with definitions could be provided. This is where the difference between "Castle" and "castle" could be displayed. And, in general, other terms could be defined if necessary.
