Lake Anosy
The heart-shaped Lake Anosy is an artificial lake in the southern part of the capital city of Madagascar, Antananarivo, about two miles south of Haute-Ville.
A swamp was replaced with Lake Anosy during the era of the ruler Radama I. The lake was constructed by James Cameron, who gave it its shape of a heart.

In the middle of the lake, there is an island connected with the city by an isthmus. On the island, there is a French-built memorial to those fallen in the first world war – the Monument aux Morts – made by sculptor Barberis and architect Perrin in 1927. On the national independence day, June 26, an annual firework festival is arranged on the lake.
