Andafiavaratra Palace, also known as the Prime Minister's Palace, is a 19th-century building that now serves as a museum dedicated to Madagascar's royal history. Located near the Rova, it contains an impressive array of artifacts, including the crown jewels, royal regalia, and personal belongings of Queen Ranavalona III. The museum offers a deep dive into the island's monarchical past, with well-preserved exhibits that tell the story of the Merina kingdom. It's a quieter alternative to the Rova but equally rich in history.
