Franciscan Church of the Annunciation, Baroque parish church at Prešeren Square, Ljubljana, Slovenia
The Franciscan Church displays a salmon-pink facade with two bell towers and features a basilica layout with a single nave and side chapels.
Built between 1646 and 1660, the church underwent substantial facade modifications in 1858 under architect Franz Kurz zum Thurn und Goldenstein's direction.
The main altar, created by Francesco Robba in 1736, represents a central element of religious art within the church's interior design.
The church opens daily for visitors and worship services, with a temporary closure period from 12:30 to 13:30 for maintenance purposes.
The adjacent monastery contains Slovenia's largest monastic library, housing over 70,000 books including medieval manuscripts and early printed works.
