Franciscan Church of the Annunciation

Franciscan Church of the Annunciation is one of the structures that have the biggest impact on how the Presernov trg Square, the heart of Ljubljana, looks. The monastery served as the residence for Augustine monks till the end of the 18th century. Between 1646 and 1660, the Church of the Annunciation was constructed. Its exterior, which was finished in 1700, reconstructed in the 19th century, and renovated in 1993, is ornamented with the largest Madonna statue in Ljubljana, a copper statue of St. Mary. The church is one of the Best Places to Visit In Ljubljana.

Franciscan Church of the Annunciation, built in the middle of the 17th century in an early Baroque style, is a serious presence on Preeren Square. The pastel color used to paint the exterior has special significance for the Franciscan order. It features pinnacles, pilasters with Ionic capitals, niches, and a figure of the Mother and Child on the pediment. It is one of the most beautiful structures in the square. The inside is richly decorated, but after the earthquake, cracks ruined the Baroque frescoes.

The church's main altar is a massive structure that Francesco Robba, a sculptor, erected in the middle of the 18th century. After the earthquake of 1895, the paintings painted by Matev Langus in the church's interior in the middle of the 19th century took on their current appearance. Matej Sternen frescoed the chapel ceiling between the years of 1935 and 1936.
