Andafiavaratra Palace, Historical palace at Upper Town, Antananarivo, Madagascar.
The palace stands atop a hill in Antananarivo, featuring large windows, a central tower, and thick stone walls that define its architectural structure.
Built in the 19th century, this palace served as the residence of Prime Minister Rainilaiarivony during the reign of three successive Malagasy monarchs.
The palace displays 1,466 artifacts from Madagascar's royal heritage, including traditional costumes, royal objects, and historical documents from different periods.
The palace museum opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages to explain the collection's historical context.
The structure now functions as a repository for objects rescued from the 1995 fire at the Rova palace complex of Antananarivo.
