Welcome to TFP! 
Either an adapter (reducer) or a threaded plug. We can't see inside. Is it open all the way through or plugged?

Looks like a Polaris universal wall fitting (UWF) for a pressure-side cleaner. Can you feel water coming out of it when the pump is running? Do you have a booster pump also?
EDIT: I'm probably wrong because your fitting is threaded on the inside. Never mind.

Welcome to TFP.
Probably a connection for a pool cleaner.
What type of pool cleaner do you have?

It's opened all the way through, but it's not sucking water when the pump is running. I have a pool cleaner, which is connected to the skimmer. This is the pic of my pump system. I also doubt it might be a connection for a pool cleaner. Maybe it's just not hooked to my pump?

It looks like someone removed the threaded wall return eyeball fitting and screwed in a 1-1/2” to 3/4” reducer. They may have put some kind of custom fountain or spray attachment there. It looks @JamesW located an old cleaner line.
If you feel like digging around the pad you can see if that old line is 1-1/2” PVC below grade. In which case, that wall fitting can be converted into a suction side cleaner if you hook that deprecated PVC line at the pad up to the suction side of the pump.

Remove the 3/4" PVC cap and use a garden hose to push water into the pipe to see if it comes out of the wall fitting.

This rust mark indicates that something metal was sitting there, which I suspect was a Polaris booster pump.
Do you have multiple switches for pumps with an unused switch?

Looks like I do have an unused switch. This pool has been quite old, at least more than 12 years.
