Changes

'''The Manjakamiadana Rova (also named Queen's Palace) is the landmark of [[Antananarivo]]. Situated at the top of Analamanga Hill, the rova clearly stands out in the skyline of Tana and can be seen from a far distance. From the 17th century to the 19th century the [[rova]] served as a residence for the kings and queens of the Merina kingdom.'''

The original structure of the palace was made of wood, which was changed to stone on order of [[Queen Ranavalona II]] in 1869. In 1995 a fire almost completely destroyed the palace, sparing only the stone walls. Since 2005 the palace has been in a state of restoration, which depending on the political situation in the country stops now and then.
