Porta coeli Convent

Porta coeli (Czech: Cisterciácké opatství Porta coeli, Latin: Heaven's Gate) is a 13th-century convent located in Předklášteří, near Tišnov, South Moravian Region, Czech Republic.

Situated in the valley of the Svratka River, this Cistercian convent was founded in 1233 by Queen Constance of Hungary.

Descended on the maternal side from the house of Anjou, and the widow of King Ottokar I of Bohemia, Queen Constance was also buried at Porta coeli.

Despite the austerity of the Cistercian rules, the western façade has a portal reminiscent of French cathedrals.

The cloister walk is noteworthy for its early Gothic vaulting, its figurative and decorative carvings, and the chapter house which was built between 1260 and 1270.
