This little island was once a port, after being a repaire of pirates. It is a sacred place for the descendants of the Zanamalata, a Métis born of the union of pirates and Malagasy princesses. One of their most important cemeteries, with the tombs of the Zafindrabe family, of King Ratsimilaho's dynasty (th century). Inside the island, a huge cast iron pot (about a metre in diameter) was used to prepare the royal meals during the Fêtes festivities. It is still an object of worship, since we come to the site of the pot. It was on the reefs surrounding the island that Thomas White, the future father of King Ratsimilaho, failed before the love of a princess and a pirate would give birth to a Métis dynasty.

Un endroit inédit à ne pas hésiter d'aller découvrir, j'y ai pu découvrir des tombes dans des cimetières datant de plusieurs siècles. Auparavant on nous a raconté que cette île était utilisée comme un port qui a malheureusement disparu. Endroit atypique à Madagascar
