Plovdiv (Bulgarian: Пловдив, pronounced [ˈpɫɔvdif]), is the second-largest city in Bulgaria, standing on the banks of the Maritsa river in the historical region of Thrace.
Philippopolis (Greek: Φιλιππούπολις) was founded as a polis by the father of Alexander the Great, Philip the Great (r. 359–336 BCE)
In the Middle Ages, Philippopolis fell to the Bulgars of the First Bulgarian Empire in 863, during the reign of Boris I (r. 852–889), having been briefly abandoned by the Christian inhabitants in 813 during a dispute with the khan Krum (r. c. 803 – 814)Læs mere
