The front façade of the Central Pharmacy
The Central Pharmacy stands at the eastern end of Prešeren Square, behind the Prešeren Monument. To the right, across the Ljubljanica, stands the Kresija Palace.

The Ljubljana Central Pharmacy ([Centralna lekarna Ljubljana] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), or shortly the Central Pharmacy ([Centralna lekarna] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), is one of the most prominent buildings at Prešeren Square ([Prešernov trg] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), the central square of the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana.[1] It is also known as Mayer Palace (Template:Lang-sl)[1] or Prešeren Square 5 Palace ([Palača Prešernov trg 5] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)).[2] It houses the eponymous pharmacy.

The Neo-Renaissance building is located between Trubar Street ([Trubarjeva cesta] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) and the Petkovšek Embankment ([Petkovškovo nabrežje] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)). It was designed in 1896–97 by Ferdinand Hauser and was built before the end of the century by Gustav Tönnies, whereas the façade was carried out by Filip Supančič.[1] Until World War II, the building also housed a cafe, named Prešeren's Cafe (Prešernova kavarna) after the poet France Prešeren (1800–1849).[3]
