This is a sacred place for the Malagasy people. It was the first residence of the first king of Madagascar Andrianaporimerina. His residence was the black hut in the middle of the fort. The residence was then enhanced by the successive monarchs.

A surprisingly simple Palace, in tact from before the French Colonozation and thankfully kept. UNESCO sites are always great. No pics allowed inside buildings

It is a UNESCO world heritage. It is the king's palace from 1800s and has queen's summer house from 1900s. The summer house has gifts from different countries such as mirrors from Queen Victoria of England, french cristal ware and wallpaper from Japan. The ticket for foreigners costs 10000 and for local costs 400. I recommend visiting the place with a guide as there are not many written explanation. Has nice panoramik view at the top.

#Madagascar 🇲🇬 #Cultural Heritage #Sacred Hill of Ambohimanga I highly recommend this site 🤗

A major step in Madagascar's History. Nicely preserved. Would deserve a full reconstitution [live performance maybe?] and an historian to develop the landmark history Be prepared to pay restrooms...

Pleasant one day trip from Tana. In addition to the Interesting history lesson given by the guides, you can also choose to go for a little hikes (there are three circuits to choose from)

I recommend a visit here to the country palace of the Marina king. It is a haven of peace outside of Tana. The buildings are interesting and they hold some artifacts and furnishings. The guide tells interesting history. There are also tombs of king and queens. The end gives you a fantastic view of the countryside. It was well worth the trip.

The place where Andrianampoinimerina settled, this was the great king from who came the idea of reuniting the Merina first, and the Malagasy after to have one land, one people.

Hardly a Palace as most people would think of it. A collection of a few huts with some basic items inside. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside though. 10,000 Ary entrance fee for foreigners plus 600 Ary for taking photos (outside only)

Very unique place although not fully developed for tourism, and the 23 km from our hotel in Tana took us 1.5 hours each way

Historic hill to see from the colonial time. The palace is quite small but offers great view overlooking Antananarivo.

A UNESCO Heritage Site. Comprises a royal city and burial site, and an ensemble of sacred places. The Royal Hill was the burial ground for its sovereigns; built in the 15th century and was set up as a fortified political capital and royal palace during the reign of King Andriantsimitoviaminandriana in the 18th century.

Amazing palace not to be missed , the way there also has great landscape , we had a very sweet lady guide from there whose name i had forgotten who made our tour very entertaining :)

Very good place to visit. The guide was very friendly and explained well. I recommend this place

One of the Historic place of Madagascar.

A must visit if you are near the capital. UNESCO heritage protected. Traditional kings building next to more modern (18c) queens palace. Still favourite with the followers of the old traditional religion where one wants to talk to ancestors and offer a sacrifice! Amazing experience. The entry gate to the sacred hill is worth a visit too

Great history and views of the city. The Queen's area is really special - items are still in decent condition. Didn't like the "pay whatever you want based on your satisfaction" to the guide. I prefer having at least a suggested price.
