Prešeren Square (Slovenian: Prešernov trg) is the main square in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. A statue of France Prešeren, a Slovenian poet and national hero, with a muse is situated in the centre of the square. On the north side, the baroque-style Franciscan Church of the Annunciation (Frančiškanska cerkev Marijinega oznanenja or just Frančiškanska cerkev). One of the main streets in Ljubljana, Čop Street, leads northwest towards the Nama emporium. On the south side, the Ljubljanica passes by and is traversed by the city's most famous bridge, Tromostovje (Three Bridges), designed in 1929 by Jože Plečnik. The building of the Central Pharmacy is located to the east, while Wolf Street (Wolfova ulica) leads towards the Congress Square (Kongresni trg) to the west.
