Know Before You Go

Preslav was the capital of the Bulgarian state from 893 to 971. After the new museum building and exposition opening, more than 35,000 archaeological units have been preserved in the Archeological Museum, a collection of findings from the Palace City. The remains of the most significant administrative, religious and farm buildings from the capital city of Preslav can be seen in Veliki Preslav.

Located in 23 square kilometres, the medieval town of Pliska is one of the largest medieval cities in Europe. The remains of the first Bulgarian capital discovered during archaeological excavations are preserved and represent an open-air museum. Here can be seen, though in ruins, the castle walls, the palaces of Khan Krum and Khan Omurtag, the temples of the god Tangra, and the Great Basilica.

Constant rivalry with the neighbouring Byzantine Empire, the acceptance of Christianity, after which Bulgaria became the cultural center of Orthodox and Slavic Europe, and the adoption of the Cyrillic alphabet mark the 330-year history of the First Bulgarian Kingdom.
