The scalloped shapes in rotum 4 (middle-left) could be a rose window, but they remind me of enclosed courtyards with archways around the perimeter and fountain gardens in the middle.

These aren't the best examples, it's a general search and I can't go through my files right now (I have a deadline in a couple of hours), but it's enough to give the idea of the ones that are fountain gardens surrounded by archways:

The cloisters have a X Shaped paths rather than the more common + Shaped paths. In the centre of the cloisters there is statue. Obviously I have a very specific location in mind.
