Predjama Castle is built on one of the world’s most unusual sites for a fortification, in the mouth of a cave complex that is halfway up a 123 m (400 ft) vertical cliff face in southwest Slovenia. The first two castles on the site were destroyed in a siege and an earthquake, respectively. In 1570, the present Renaissance-style structure was built below the original medieval castle.

Slovenia’s Franciscan Church of the Annunciation is located in Prešeren Square in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It was built between 1646 and 1660 and is the parish church of the city. Originally the church was painted red, the symbolic color of the Franciscan monastic order, but it faded to pink over time, and citizens liked the color. Since 2008, the church has been protected as a cultural monument of national significance.
