I travelled to see the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Come join me there too. Welcome to Art, Culture & Travel with me, Anthony King.
The Franciscan Church of the Annunciation in Ljubljana, Slovenia, is an iconic Baroque landmark located on Prešeren Square. Built between 1646 and 1660, the church is distinguished by its vibrant pink façade, symbolizing the Franciscan monastic order. The interior features exquisite frescoes by Matevž Langus, a renowned Slovenian painter, and an elaborate high altar designed by sculptor Francesco Robba. The church’s Franciscan Monastery, adjacent to it, houses a significant library with many ancient manuscripts. Over the centuries, it has been a focal point for religious and cultural activities in Ljubljana, contributing significantly to the city’s architectural heritage.
