iam writing a story so i want to know the difference. what shall i call the place where the king stays and which is also heavily guarded as there is a war going on. it is not on an mountain peak.
also, what should i call the building that is very big and evil. it has four long towers (i don't know if that has a special name), from which rivals can be seen from far.

a palace is a special building for recreation and pleasure, normally for balls and dining and luxuriant housing.
A castle is a large fortress, usually containing a palace, and normally has spiraling towers as well as a courtyard, and is frequently surrounded by a mote or by a cliff.
A fortress is a very large fort, and can be used as a word to describe a safe haven and is extremely difficult to break in to,
A fort can be large, it can be small as a bunker in some cases. It is a protected area where militaristic plans can be made and exectuted, provide shelter and sometimes are only temporary lodgings

A castle is a fortified house or residence. A king would live in a castle if he were involved in active warfare. A fort or fortress would not necessarily be residences, or places that you would live an everyday life as a king.
A palace generally would not serve any warfare needs as it is merely a lavish home!
