Royal Hill of Ambohimanga in pictures.
Crowning a forested hill near Antananarivo, Ambohimanga was the spiritual and political seat of the Merina monarchy that unified Madagascar. Within its stone ramparts stand royal palaces, tombs and sacred enclosures still revered by Malagasy people today. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers a window into the island's royal history and enduring traditions.
