Morning
Ambohimanga Rova
Ambohimanga, 24 km northeast of Antananarivo, is a sacred hill and former royal palace, a major symbol of the cultural identity of the Merina people. Listed as one of the twelve sacred hills of the Imerina, it is home to royal residences, burial sites and ritual areas that are still frequented today.
A spiritual, political and historical site, Ambohimanga was the place where Andrianampoinimerina, the king who founded the unity of the kingdom, proclaimed his laws and asserted his power through symbolic rituals.
