"Antananarivo, surrounded of the twelve crowned hills of the plateau of Imerina which make it like a round of honor, is not without evoking the antiques cities of Troy or Rome. This large metropolis with about 1 million inhabitants is located at a strategic point of the High Plateau. Antananarivo is famous for its Zoma, before the longest market of the world and from now on parcelled out in several small markets."
