'''Amboatany is a small, fortified village located on a hill near [[Ambohimanga]], about 20 kilometres northeast of [[Antananarivo]]. In the centre of the village the sacred tomb of the Merina King [[Andriambelomasina]] can be found. Andriambelomasina was the grandfather of King [[Andrianampoinimerina]].'''

As Andrianampoinimerina was born in the auspicious month of ''Alahamady'', the first month in the Malagasy year, his grandfather predicted royal destiny and oversaw his grandson's Merina education at Amboatany and later at the court in Ambohimanga. Today, Andrianampoinimerina is the most popular of the Malagasy kings, because Madagascar's unification was based on his territorial actions.
