Prešeren Square

Prešeren Square, which is close to the Ljubljanica, is where the city congregates and celebrates. There is a significant likelihood that this location will host an event if one is taking place in Ljubljana. This square is also a location of celebrations, carnavals, music, and even protests. The Franciscan Church of the Annunciation was constructed in the 17th century, which is when the Prešeren Plaza first appeared. St. Mary's Square was the initial name of the neighborhood, after the church. This is one of the Best Places to Visit In Ljubljana.

The square, which has a rough triangular layout and is where several important arteries meet, got its present luxurious aspect following the earthquake in 1895. The medieval homes that had previously stood here were replaced at this time, joining the 1795-built Baroque Church of the Anunciation. The poet France Prešeren, whose poem "Zdravljica," or "A Toast," became Slovenia's national song in the 19th century, is credited with giving the plaza its name. His statue is located close to the Central Pharmacy, across the street from Julija Primic, his unrequited love and inspiration.
