My comment:

"The fortress was built at the eastern end of the great wall of the city (the second wall), on the northeastern side of the city, near the Temple Mount and the Pool of Bethesda."

"Modern depictions often show the Antonia as being located along the North side of the temple enclosure. However, Josephus' description of the siege of Jerusalem suggests that it was separated from the temple enclosure itself and probably connected by two colonnades with a narrow space between them"

My references:

When you look at a picture of this structure you can see that the fortress looks like an independent structure "added" at one of the corners of the city's walls (as if you built a wall with leggo's and then you built the fortress separately and then you just add it at one of the corners, that is why it is "outside" of the City/Temple.
