THE ROVA OF ANTANANARIVO : A CULTURAL AND HISTORIC PATRIMONY

The sacred and royal site of the ROVA of ANTANANARIVO (13th Century - 19th Century AD) responds, in all points, to the standards established by all international institutions in charge of the safeguard, the conservation, the valorization and the promotion of heritaged sites and works presenting for the humanity and the identity of a civilization an original and exceptional value.

Necropolis of sovereigns, inviolable site responsible for the sacrements of the royal and princely dignity, acropolis with fortifications and sanctuaries, it is undoubtedly a jewel that carries the pride of an entire nation high.

The ROVA of ANTANANARIVO is a jewel belonging, in an undivided manner, to the whole nation, and it is prohibited for anyone to dispose it, even to the president of the republic, especially not distort its character with the construction of a hideous "coliseum" intended to attract the populace around lucrative, fun and festive events.

Such a rape of the sacred places imbued of the royal sacredness with the proximity of the Besakana Royal Hut, the Royal Palace of Manjakamiadana, the Royal Hut of Mahitsielafanjaka, the location of the Old Royal Palaces, such as the Royal Palaces of Manjakahavana, Manjakatsiroa, Masoandrotsiroa, Mananjara, and other Royal Huts, and by the religiosity two steps away from the Royal Temple must be sanctioned by the cessation of works and the demolition of the said "coliseum".

The Royal House of Madagascar, concerned about the necessary authentic enhancement of an historical, patrimonial and sentimental legacy that their ancestors wanted to transmit for the whole nation  and as intransigent guardians of a value representative of a past carrying the future for the malagasy people, appeals to their foreign cousins but also to the governments and the people of friendly countries of Madagascar, to support their current effort aimed to a perfect rehabilitation of the entire site of the ROVA of ANTANANARIVO and the other sacred and royal sites in Madagascar.
