The Franciscan Church of the Annunciation (Slovene: frančiškanska cerkev Marijinega oznanjenja or commonly Frančiškanska cerkev; officially Cerkev Marijinega oznanjenja) is a Franciscan church located on Prešeren Square in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It is the parish church of Ljubljana - Annunciation Parish. It was built on a site where two or possibly three churches stood earlier between 1646 and 1660 (the bell towers following around 1720) under the management of Francesco Olivieri and Francesco Rosina, and its exterior was redesigned in 1858 according to plans by Franz Kurz zum Thurn und Goldenstein. The frescoes in the interior were added in the mid-19th century by Matevž Langus and on the ceiling by Matej Sternen in the first half of the 20th century, whereas the main altar was mostly made by the Baroque sculptor Francesco Robba (1736). The red or pink colour of the church is symbolic of the Franciscan monastic order.[1][2][3] Since 2008, the church has been protected as a cultural monument of national significance of Slovenia.[4]
