History / Description of a farmworkers church of at Masseria in Puglia

Italian term or phrase: su cui si dispone tutto attorno

I can not make out the correct sense of "si dispone" here. Is it referring to arms at the disposal of the workers/fighters, or is it referring to commands being given in the courtyards? The preceding text has covered the Salento fortifications built for defence, but also the church built for the workers of the farm's olive harvesting.

"Dopo l’incursione ottomana del 1480 ad Otranto, infatti in tutto il Salento si corre ai ripari difendendo la costa e l’entroterra con fortini e torri di avvistamento. Noterete a sinistra i resti una chiesa privata. ..... Era pertanto il prete a celebrarla in masseria. All’interno sono presenti due corti su cui si dispone tutto attorno la masseria con i terrazzi merlati."
