Visitation of Mary Church, Filial church on Rožnik Hill, Slovenia.

Visitation of Mary Church is a Baroque pilgrimage church on Rožnik Hill, built in 1740–1746 to plans attributed to Candido Zulliani, with a Neoclassical facade added after 1814. Inside are three altars and a Neo-Renaissance pulpit from the late 19th century, plus Stations of the Cross painted by Janez Potočnik in 1802.

A church on Rožnik Hill is recorded in 1526, when it owed a copper chalice and three pounds of hellers for the war effort; a Gothic filial church of St Peter's parish is mentioned as early as 1461. It was razed in 1740 and rebuilt in 1740–1746 under the builder Abondi Donina, with the design attributed to Candido Zulliani. Consecrated on 13 August 1747, it was closed under the Josephinian reforms in 1785, damaged by Napoleonic troops in 1809, reopened in 1814 and given a Neoclassical facade in 1823.

The church is a Franciscan filial church and pilgrimage site. Its name was changed to the Visitation of Mary in 1836, when it became a chapel of ease. The main altar painting by Valentin Metzinger (1746) was lost and replaced by a copy of Jurij Šubica's 1887–1888 work in 1944. The Stations of the Cross were painted by Janez Potočnik in 1802.

The church sits on Rožnik Hill and can be reached on foot or by various transport options from Ljubljana's center. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended since climbing the hill requires some effort.

The church holds three altarpieces painted in 1746 by Valentin Metzinger. The Marian altar image was lost and replaced around 1887–1888 by a work of Jurij Szubica; the version there today is a 1944 copy. Metzinger's painting of Saints Cosmas and Damian is kept in the Ljubljana Franciscan monastery.
