<p>Let <b>Pries</b> denote the category of Priestley spaces and Priestley morphisms.</p>

<p><big>Connection with spectral spaces</big></p>
<p>Priestley spaces are closely related to <a href="page.php?w=spectral_space">spectral space</a>s. For a Priestley space , let  denote the collection of all open up-sets of . Similarly, let  denote the collection of all open down-sets of .</p>

<p><b>Theorem:</b>If  is a Priestley space, then both  and  are spectral spaces.</p>
