Fisakana is a Betsileo kingdom in central Madagascar. It was established by Ratrimo , the son of Andriandavaloha, who is thought to have come from Matitana.
History
Fisakana was founded by Ratrimo upon merging five small kingdoms:
- Kingdom of Tsiakarandambo
- Kingdom of Miarikanjaka
- Kingdom of Matahotrony
- Kingdom of Ianjanindavitra
- Kingdom of Ambohipoloalina
The Fikasana kingdom ended when Andrianampoinimerina army captured its capital Kirioka in early 1800s. It was incorporated into the historical Vakinankaratra province of Imerina.
