Colline bois\u00e9e \u00e0 24 kilom\u00e8tres au nord de la capitale, c&rsquo;est le c\u0153ur spirituel du royaume qui unifia Madagascar, la s\u00e9pulture de ses souverains, et le seul site de l&rsquo;\u00eele que l&rsquo;UNESCO inscrit pour sa culture plut\u00f4t que sa nature. C&rsquo;est aussi, contrairement \u00e0 un mus\u00e9e, toujours sacr\u00e9 \u2014 un lieu de rituel vivant. Voici pourquoi il compte plus que n&rsquo;importe quel palais.<\/p>\n<h2>La colline bleue des rois<\/h2>\n<p>Ambohimanga s&rsquo;imposa au XVIIIe si\u00e8cle comme le si\u00e8ge du <strong>roi Andrianampoinimerina<\/strong>, qui y v\u00e9cut et r\u00e9gna de 1788 \u00e0 1810 tandis qu&rsquo;il entreprenait d&rsquo;unifier l&rsquo;\u00eele. Quand il prit Antananarivo, il n&rsquo;abandonna pas Ambohimanga ; il d\u00e9clara les deux d&rsquo;\u00e9gale importance, faisant de la capitale son si\u00e8ge politique et d&rsquo;Ambohimanga la <strong>capitale spirituelle<\/strong> du royaume. C&rsquo;est l&rsquo;une des douze collines sacr\u00e9es de l&rsquo;Imerina \u2014 et sans doute la plus sainte.<\/p>\n<h2>Sacr\u00e9e sur plus d&rsquo;une strate<\/h2>\n<p>Ce qui approfondit la saintet\u00e9 d&rsquo;Ambohimanga, c&rsquo;est que ses tombes remontent plus loin que les rois merina. La colline abrite des <strong>tombeaux royaux<\/strong>, mais aussi des s\u00e9pultures de <strong>Vazimba<\/strong>, les l\u00e9gendaires premiers habitants de l&rsquo;\u00eele. S&rsquo;y tenir, c&rsquo;est se tenir sur les anc\u00eatres des anc\u00eatres. C&rsquo;est pourquoi, inscrite par l&rsquo;UNESCO en 2001, la colline est d\u00e9crite non comme une ruine mais comme un lieu de rituel vivant \u2014 les Malgaches y viennent encore prier, remercier et honorer les morts.<\/p>\n<h2>Ce que l&rsquo;on voit r\u00e9ellement<\/h2>\n<p>Le <em>rova<\/em> est une enceinte royale fortifi\u00e9e \u00e0 laquelle on acc\u00e8de par d&rsquo;\u00e9normes <strong>disques de pierre<\/strong> \u2014 certains pesant jusqu&rsquo;\u00e0 12 tonnes \u2014 que l&rsquo;on roulait pour les fermer chaque nuit, par d\u00e9fense. \u00c0 l&rsquo;int\u00e9rieur, la pi\u00e8ce ma\u00eetresse est la <strong>maison de bois \u00e0 deux \u00e9tages<\/strong> d&rsquo;Andrianampoinimerina, aux balcons finement sculpt\u00e9s, \u00e9tonnamment modeste pour un si grand roi. Une cour est ombrag\u00e9e par deux grands <strong>figuiers<\/strong>, et une <strong>pierre sacrificielle<\/strong> voisine sert encore aux rituels aujourd&rsquo;hui. Chaque \u00e9l\u00e9ment est une d\u00e9claration sur la souverainet\u00e9, l&rsquo;ascendance et le sacr\u00e9.<\/p>\n<h2>Visiter avec respect<\/h2>\n<p>Ambohimanga est un site sacr\u00e9 en activit\u00e9, donc les <em>fady<\/em> habituels s&rsquo;appliquent : tenue modeste, suivez votre guide, et traitez les tombeaux et la pierre sacrificielle comme les lieux saints qu&rsquo;ils sont. Un bon guide local transforme la visite, d\u00e9codant le symbolisme des portes, des arbres et des tombes qu&rsquo;un visiteur press\u00e9 longerait sans voir. C&rsquo;est la demi-journ\u00e9e la plus enrichissante pr\u00e8s de la capitale.<\/p>\n<h2>Pourquoi cela compte aujourd&rsquo;hui<\/h2>\n<p>Comprenez Ambohimanga et vous comprenez la logique spirituelle sous le Madagascar moderne \u2014 pourquoi collines, tombeaux et anc\u00eatres fa\u00e7onnent encore la vie des gens.
