Antsirabe, Industrial city in central Madagascar.

Located 169 kilometers south of Antananarivo, Antsirabe stretches across volcanic terrain at an elevation of 1,500 meters with tree-lined avenues and mineral springs.

Norwegian missionaries established this settlement in 1872, constructing a center that later developed into Madagascar's third-largest city with French colonial architecture.

The streets of Antsirabe display traditional craftwork, including woven natural fibers, zebu horn objects, and wooden carts used by local merchants.

Seven thermal springs provide therapeutic treatments while the central Antsena-Asabotsy market offers fresh produce, dairy products, and regional merchandise.

The surrounding area contains two volcanic lakes, Andraikiba and Tritriva, which hold centuries-old legends among local inhabitants.
