Ambohitsorohitra Palace, Presidential palace in Antananarivo, Madagascar.
The Ambohitsorohitra Palace stands with white walls and decorative elements in the center of Antananarivo, serving as the official office of Madagascar's president.
French architect Jully designed this neo-Renaissance structure between 1890 and 1892, initially as a residence for French General Bompard during the colonial period.
The palace's architecture combines French neo-Renaissance elements with local construction techniques, reflecting the fusion of European and Malagasy building traditions.
While the palace remains closed to public access due to security measures, visitors can observe its exterior architecture from several vantage points around the city.
The military seized control of this governmental building during the 2009 political transition between Marc Ravalomanana and Andry Rajoelina, marking a significant power shift.
