'''Ambohijoky is one of the [[Twelve Sacred Hills|twelve sacred hills]] of the ancient Merina Kingdom, located in the south-west of [[Antananarivo]].'''
Formerly called Analamasina, it is located south of [[Antsahadinta]] and [[Ambatomalaza]]. The original inhabitants, the ''Manisotra'', resisted [[Andrianampoinimerina|King Andrianampoinimerina]] for a long time before defeat. At the end of the war, the king placed one of his twelve wifes there, the oldest one. That is why the hill is called Ambohijoky - "At the hill of the senior sister". (Text by Isabelle Ratsira)
