'''Soavinandriamanitra Culture Park is a small, relatively unknown park near [[Ambohimanga]]. From the Royal Hill of Ambohimanga it is a 45 30 minutes walk along a dirt road to the park. Although the park seems a bit unremarkable, it is actually a place full of history.'''

Back in the old times the location served as a refuge for [[Andrianampoinimerina - King of Merina Kingdom|King Andrianampoinimerina]] before taking power. Protected by three circular walls made of laterite brickstones not only Andrianampoinimerina felt save, although [[Queen Ranavalona I]] choose chose the place for storing gunpowder. Today the location is transformed into an ecotourism park to revive the place.

The park has no restaurant or shop, but a nice shaded picnic area under large trees.
