The archaeological site of Antongona is located in the Itasy Region of Madagascar (formerly Imamo), roughly west of Antananarivo and north of Imerintsiatosika, Itasy.
== Site Description == thumb|left|Antogona Antongona is a sacred hill, it consists of two royal houses dated from the 16th and 18th centuries AD, spaced roughly apart and a royal tomb. Situated on natural rock formations, stone walls and doorways augmented the inherent defensive qualities of the rock formations constructed upon. From the center of the structure, a full 360° view was obtained of the surrounding landscape, further exemplifying the defensive quality of the sites.
