In the background is the Monastery of S. Jeronimos (St Jerome) at Belem, near Lisbon.
In the foreground is a fountain with water, for those people in Melbourne who have forgotten what a running fountain looks like.
The monastery was lovely, cool and relaxing.
You can find more details about the monastery

This was the ceiling in the main chapel. More like a cathedral. Very tall, graceful pillars.

those arches take my breath away! I'd love to see that...
