Terezská brána, City gate at Olomouc, Czech Republic

Terezská brána is a brick gate built in the 1750s to a design by Pierre Bechade de Rochepine, standing on Palachovo náměstí. Its sandstone façade takes the form of a Roman triumphal arch topped by a triangular pediment with a relief of the imperial eagle. The gate measures 9.2 by 17.6 metres and is about 9 metres high; its roof is covered with clay and turf. It originally had three openings: a central passage for wagons and two smaller ones for pedestrians and the military guard.

Built in the 1750s to a design by Pierre Bechade de Rochepine, the brick gate was named after Maria Theresa when she visited Olomouc on 9 September 1754. It guarded the road to Brno and Vienna, the fortress's most important route. Scheduled for demolition in the late 19th century, it was saved with support from urbanist Camillo Sitte and repaired in 1898 for 600 Austrian crowns.

The gate's name honours Maria Theresa, who visited Olomouc on 9 September 1754. Its sandstone frieze bears metal letters reading "MDCCLIII – M. THERESIA – D.G.R.I.G.H.B.R.", and the pilasters carry reliefs of armour and military trophies. Since 1943 a passage cut lengthwise through the gate has served pedestrians.

The gate stands on Palachovo náměstí, on the western edge of the former fortifications. Since 1943 a passage has run through it lengthwise, so pedestrians can walk through rather than only around it. Remains of the brick city walls survive on both sides.

The roof is covered with clay and a layer of grass turf, not tiles. In 2016 the city decided to rebuild the wooden drawbridge and water moat in front of the gate, features that had vanished with the fortifications.
