	Pliska - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pliska (Bulgarian: Плиска) is the name of both the first capital of Danubian Bulgaria and a small village (formerly known as Aboba) which was renamed after the historical Pliska after its site was determined and excavations begun.
		Pliska was sacked by the Byzantine army in 811, but the invaders were soon driven out by Khan Krum (see Battle of Pliska).
		One of the first steps of the new ruler was to move the capital to Preslav, a fortified town in the vicinity of Pliska, probably because of the steadily strong pagan influence in the old capital.
