Brána Matky Boží, Medieval city gate in Jihlava, Czech Republic.

Brána Matky Boží is the last surviving gate of Jihlava's original five city gates, standing in Matky Boží street. Its late Gothic passage with pointed portals dates from 1508–1509, when the earlier tower was demolished; a Renaissance addition of 1564 brought it to its present height of 24 m, topped by an attic crown.

The gate was built in the 13th century as one of five medieval entrances to the city's fortification system. Today it remains the only preserved portal from that original defensive network and stands as a testament to the period.

The gate displays paintings by Gustav Krum that capture important moments from the city's past in color. These works allow visitors to see how a local artist documented the events that shaped Jihlava over time.

The observation tower is accessible to visitors and offers views over the city. The two exhibitions inside are easy to navigate and typically require about an hour or two for a thorough visit.

The gate houses the Jihlava Astronomical Society, which holds public night-sky observations through a telescope. Since June 2007 the tower has also displayed reproductions of paintings by Gustav Krum in the exhibition "Z historie Jihlavy", alongside a display on the development of the town's fortifications.
