Moramanga is a city (commune urbaine) in Madagascar.

Between the capital city Antananarivo and the east coast. The name Mora-manga literally means “easy to beautify”. The city of Moramanga has an important place in the history of Madagascar. It was in Moramanga, on the night of the 29th of March 1947 that the Malagasy Uprising against French colonial rule started. Moramanga is also the capital city of the Bezanozano people (one of the eighteen Ethnic groups of Madagascar).

Moramanga is in the Alaotra-Mangoro region.

Geography

Moramanga is situated on a plateau between the central highlands and the east coast.

Transports

The national road RN 2 connects the city with Antananarivo and Toamasina, the Route nationale 44 to Ambatondrazaka, Imerimandroso and Amboavory.

The city is at the TCE (Tananarive-Côte Est) and the south end of the MLA (Moramanga-Lac Alaotra) railways, so it's the only railway junction in Madagascar (except for the capital).

Religion

The city is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Moramanga.
