The Ruins
The ruins (entered by a minor road which runs 3km eastwards from the village of Pliska) still occupy a considerable area, although most of the buildings have been reduced to low walls. As you can see from the reconstruction in the museum (daily 9am-5pm), Pliska originally had three lines of defences: a ditch, behind which was the outer town (with workshops and basic dwellings), a stone wall with four gates, surrounding the inner town, and finally a brick rampart around the so-called Little Palace. What remains of the former Royal Basilica (a few reconstructed walls and column fragments) lies a further 2km beyond the entrance to the ruins at the end of an asphalt track, an impressive but poignant sight stranded among corn fields.
