Travel Guide Ambodihady

Perched on the top of a hill, the site offers a panoramic view of the capital and its vast rice-growing areas that stretch as far as the eye can see. The rova is built at the top of the hill, in an enclosure of white and blue painted stones. Once crossed the entry of the enclosure, one can observe an imposing tomb painted also in blue and white. This tomb is that of King Andrianbodilova, one of the two husbands of Queen Ranoro. In this place was once erected his rova. At the back of the enclosure there are houses containing holy earth, which visitors can collect and take away a handful of it after meditating.
