I think this piece is coming together nicely. One thing l noticed when we got a "top down" view was that the cobblestone floor looks pretty uniform in color. You might consider putting a colored wash over some of the stones to give them a little variation as well. Solid colors might make things pop a bit too much, but some red, orange, or even green washes over a few stones here or there, that would allow the darker stone color to show through, might create some interesting breaks. Painting a demonic summoning circle in the middle of the courtyard might also cause a bit of a stir when the pc's walk in as well! 😉
Thank you for the feedback. Some things do not become obvious until after more details are added. That is one reason I wanted to break up the uniform color between the runners and tower roofs and add another shade to stand out. Now that you mentioned it, the details of the courtyard have been kind of lost in the two colors. I actually thought of adding some other colors to make the stones stand out more in the courtyard and you just confirmed it. The summoning circle is a great idea, although I was thinking of making some removable pieces that I can swap out. One separate build I thought of adding was a small graveyard within the courtyard. Thanks again for the suggestions.

I'm not sure if l missed it, but what were the "slabs" made out of?
By the way they look, I'm guessing the scraps from doing the floors.
You are right.
The slabs were made from scrap pieces of foam core that were cut from the roofs and runners.
