The Franciscan Church of the Annunciation in Ljubljana was built by Francesco Olivieri from 1646 to 1655 and Francesco Rosina from 1655 to 1660, and Franz Kurz zum Thurn und Goldenstein redesigned the exterior in 1858. The article names no client. The infobox also lists Črtomir Mihelj for 1992 to 1993, but the text does not mention him.
The article calls the style Baroque, with a basilica plan of one nave and two rows of side chapels. The facade has Ionic pilasters below and Corinthian above, and a copper statue of Our Lady of Loretto. The red color symbolizes the Franciscan order. The text dates the Baroque facade to 1703 to 1706.
The 1895 earthquake cracked the ceiling and ruined many frescoes. Francesco Robba made most of the main altar in 1736. It became a cultural monument of national significance in 2008 and is an active parish church. The article gives no hours.
