Review:
Ambohimanga Hill is a UNESCO World Heritage Site situated in the province of Antananarivo in northern Madagascar. Ambohimanga Hill was a royal city and burial site, and later a summer palace for Malagasy royalty. The city was protected by an enormous stone wall and 14 outer gates, the largest of which featured a massive stone disc that was over 130 feet in diameter and required at least 20 strong men to move it into position.
You can explore the interesting site at your own pace or with the assistance of a guide, who will be able to explain many details you may miss if visiting on your own. Highlights include the two palaces, the sacrificial ox pit, four royal tombs, two sacred basins, and the massive main gate. Amber Mountain National Park Map
