The pagan revolt of the Pliska nobility led by King Vladimir in 892 was decisive for the future destiny of the city.

In the following 80 years the city developed rapidly, turning into a centre not only of Bulgarian politics and diplomacy, but also of culture, literature and the fine arts. A chronicler mentioned that it took Simeon 28 years to establish and build up his new capital. Arche ...
