[1] It stands in the eastern side of Prešeren Square, in front of the Central Pharmacy Building in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.

[5] It was made by the stonemason Alojzij Vodnik per a design by Max Fabiani, who based his work on a concept by Ivan Zajec.

[6] There are two bronze reliefs on the lower part of the pedestal, depicting scenes from Prešeren's Poems.

[8][3] They have a Classicist composition, a Realist cadre, an impressionist final touch, and emphasise Prešeren's Romantic poetry with its content.

[2] The upper part of the pedestal is decorated with a stylised lime tree, reminding of the poet's homeland's symbol.

[6] The costs for the entire monument were around 71,000 kronen, largely raised by Slovene women and various societies.
