Preseren Square is the central square in Lubiana and it is part of the old town’s pedestrian zone and a major meeting point, where festivals, Ljubljana carnival, concerts, sports, political, and protest events take place.
Prešeren Square gained its current appearance in the 17th century when the baroque-style Franciscan Church of the Annunciation was built and was first known as St. Mary’s Square after the church. After the earthquake in 1895, the architect Max Fabiani designed the square as the hub of four streets. In the 1980s, Edvard Ravnikar proposed the circular design and the granite block pavement, with a circle and radiant lines of Macedonian Sivec marble.
