The administrative center of the municipality - the town of Veliki Preslav, was founded more than 1110 years ago as a fortress town. In 893 it was proclaimed the capital of the Bulgarian state. Here were located the Palace of the Rulers, the Palace of the Bishop, and later - of the Patriarch. Preslav is a center of spiritual and literary life, it is associated with Slavic writing and the Golden Age of the Bulgarians.
