Rova of Antananarivo, also known as the Queen's Palace, is a historical royal complex located in the heart of Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar. This iconic site served as the political and cultural epicenter of the Merina Kingdom from the early 17th century until the French colonization in the late 19th century. The Rova includes several significant structures, such as the Manjakamiadana Palace, which was the residence of the Merina monarchs. Despite suffering considerable damage due to a fire in 1995, restoration efforts have been ongoing to preserve its historical significance and architectural grandeur.
