Franciscan Church of the Annunciation, Baroque parish church on Prešeren Square in Ljubljana, Slovenia

The Franciscan Church of the Annunciation is an early-Baroque parish church on Prešeren Square in Ljubljana. Its facade, painted salmon pink since 1858, has Ionic pilasters below and Corinthian above, volutes flanking the upper section, and three statues on the roofline; the inscription "S. IVANA KRSTNIKA" runs below the central window. A single bell tower with a green domed cupola rises at the right rear. Inside, one nave is lined by two rows of side chapels, with a barrel-vaulted ceiling painted by Matej Sternen in 1935–36 and a domed baldachin over the main altar.

A pre-Baroque church of St Martin, consecrated in 1628, stood here until a fire in 1645; the Augustinians demolished it and began the present church in 1646, completing it in 1660. Konrad Baron Ruessenstein founded it with a vow to build a church dedicated to the Annunciation and a chapel modelled on Loreto; the chapel was consecrated in 1669 and the church in 1700 by Prince-Bishop Sigmund Christoph Count Herberstein. The bell towers followed in 1719, and the facade was completely redesigned in 1858 by Franz Kurz zum Thurn und Goldenstein.

The church is dedicated to the Annunciation, and its pink facade refers to the Franciscan order. The monastery library, founded by Žiga Škerpin in the mid-18th century, keeps Dalmatin's Bible and 30,000 volumes printed before 1800. The church organ, built by Franc Goršič, is the largest church organ in Ljubljana.

The entrance faces Prešeren Square, reached by a three-ramp stone staircase built when the square was regulated in the first half of the 19th century; the central and side ramps are rounded and closed off by railings and planting. The church is the parish church of Ljubljana - Annunciation Parish and still serves the adjoining Franciscan monastery.

The monastery library was founded in the mid-18th century by Žiga Škerpin, collapsed in the 1895 earthquake, and was rebuilt to a design by architect Raimund Jeblinger. Of its 70,000 volumes, some 30,000 date from before 1800, and it also keeps illuminated manuscripts, incunabula and a copy of Dalmatin's Bible.
