Soarano Train Station
Soarano Train Station, officially known as Gare de Soarano, is the main station of Antananarivo. The train station is located at the end of Independance Avenue. From 1908 to 1910 the station was constructed next to a fountain, from where its name originates: Soarano means "good water".
In 2009 the 2-storey building has been restored by Madagascar Estates Development Partners and turned into an upscale commercial and business centre. Several retail shops moved into the ground floor, whilst the first floor offers office space. The station platform is used as an open restaurant terrace, where also cultural events and exhibitions take place.
