The Ljubljana Central Market was designed by Jože Plečnik. The article names no client, and Matko Curk's company built it. The text gives design as 1931 to 1939 and construction as 1940 to 1942, and the page summary lists no construction dates.

The article describes Renaissance influences and concrete roof tiles. The market originally covered 20,190 square feet (1,876 square meters). Butchers' Bridge, completed in 2010, finished Plečnik's planned bridge.

State protection was imposed in 2008, annulled in 2009 and reinstated in 2012, after the city challenged it over a planned parking garage and the case went to the Constitutional Court. UNESCO inscription came in 2021. It is a market hall with flower, fish, dried fruit, bakery, dairy and meat stalls, and the colonnade hosts herb, spice and craft stalls. It is open daily except Sundays, and the article gives no specific times.
