Lapa Mahitsielafanjaka
Lapa naorin'ny Mpanjaka Andrianampoinimerina, nipetrahany rehefa ety Anatirova izy. Misy ny sarivonganddoka eo amin'ny itokontany avaratra, izay miaramila tamin'ny andron-dRanavalona izay tsy niala teo mihitsy, ka nahatonga ny vavahady andrefana fidirane antsoina hoe "yavahadin Ikidoka”.

Ao ambadika avaratra no misy ny fahitrombin Andrianampoinimerina. Ao no mifahy na atavezina ny ombiny ka rehefa tsy tafavoaka ny lavaka boribory eo atsinananatintsony izy dia azo vonoina fa efa matavy tsara.

Mahitsielafanjaka Palace
Palace built by King Andrianamponimerina (1787-1810) where he lived when he was in the Rova. A statue of Ikidoka stands outside to the north, he is one of the military guards during the reign of Ranavalona (1828-1861), he still stays in the same place; hence the name of the western entrance gate: "Ikidoka portal" (vavahadin Ikidoka).

An enclosure for King Andrianampoinimerina's zebus is located behind, on the north side of the palace, this is where they were fattened and when they could no longer pass through the round hollow to the cast of the enclosure, they can be killed because they are fat enough.
