A characteristic symbol of Jihlava, this town gate is the only one preserved of the original five medieval portals surrounding the town.


Gate of Holy MotherIt was built at the beginning of the second half of the 13th century, during the construction of the town and its fortification system. From 1508 to 1509, the original tower that used to top the gate was taken down to be replaced by a new late-Gothic gate with a tall spiky portal. Subsequent alterations date back to the year 1548. Following a major fire in 1551, the gate was given a Renaissance addition in the form of the fourth and fifth floor, thus reaching its current height of 24 meters.
