The statue of Marshal Joffre, built by the sculptor Raymond Sudre, was inaugurated
in October 1933 as a tribute to the marshal who, form 1899 to 1905, re-organised
the whole town which became a strong naval base.
Joffre Square used to be a focal point for receiving the optical signals
transmitted from Cape Amber. It has always been a favourite viewpoint, and even
today Antsiranana people come here to watch the ships sail in... and out of the
harbour.
