The Preseren Square (Slovenian: Prešernov trg ) is the main square in Ljubljana , capital of Slovenia .

The name of the square was originally called Marienplatz , which was named after the church.

In the middle of the square is the statue of the Slovenian national poet France Prešeren . To the north of the square is the baroque Franciscan church ( Frančiškanska cerkev Marijinega oznanenja or simply Frančiškanska cerkev ) and the Urbanc house from 1903.

One of the main streets in Ljubljana, Copova ulica, leads northwest to the NAMA department store. The Ljubljanica River flows south of the square and is crossed by the city's most famous bridge, Tromostovje (Three Bridges), designed by Jože Plečnik in 1929 . The central pharmacy building is to the east, while Wolfstrasse (Wolfova ulica) leads to the congress square ( Kongresni trg ) with the main building of the University of Ljubljana in the west .
