PLISKA NATIONAL HISTORICAL-
ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESERVE
Covering a territory of 23 km², the medieval city of Pliska was one
of the largest medieval European cities. It was established by Khan
Asparouh – the first Bulgarian ruler. It was the capital city of the
Bulgarian state for more than two centuries (681-893). Pliska is
associated with
the names of 18
Bulgarian rulers,
some of who are
Tervel (700-721),
Krum (802-814), Omurtag (814-831), Boris I Michail (852-
889). All the remains of the First Bulgarian capital discovered
by archaeological excavations are preserved, and today the
reserve operates as an open-air museum. Despite in ruins only,
fortress walls, palaces of Krum and Omurtag, temples of
Tangra, and the Grand basilica can still be seen. The entirely
renewed collection in the new museum building, keeps the
most valuable findings. Chronologically exposed, they trace the
main periods of life in Pliska – Pagan and Christian.

the three nymphs, pagan temples, ruins of Christian churches dating back to the 9th c., a rock monastery
comprising of more than 150 monastic cells and churches from the 14th c., all provide evidence that Madara was
a cult center during the whole of its existence.

inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, as a property having an outstanding value. It’s a global symbol of
