Historic routes of the upper town
Madagascar’s 2016 tentative-list submission to UNESCO lists paved or stone-surfaced roads and the paths of water carriers among the upper town’s historic routes. It also names the Couloir Rasalama among the district’s paths, streets and stairways.[2]
Watercress below the upper-town palaces
The same submission records watercress beds reaching the foot of the upper-town palaces, some fed by spring water. It calls this urban farming an ancestral practice that has withstood the city’s expansion.[2]
