Rova of Madagascar: Discover Manjakamiadana
Overview
The Rova d'Antananarivo, also known as the Rova de Madagascar or the Queen's Palace, is a major historical site in the highlands of Madagascar. As the residence of the kings and queens of the Merina kingdom since the 17th century, it embodies the country's political and cultural history.
On this tour, you'll discover the evolution of the palaces from the 17th to the 19th century, and learn how the Rova played a central role during the reign of Andrianampoinimerina and his successors. The site bears witness to the greatness of the Merina kingdom, its resistance to colonial powers, and the influence of the Malagasy monarchy before colonization.
The Rova was partially destroyed in a fire, but its reconstruction still allows us to grasp the full extent of its historical importance. Take advantage of this visit to explore the remains of the royal palace and discover the fascinating history of Madagascar.
