'''Ilafy is a village and commune in Madgascar with approximately 13,000 inhabitants. Ilafy is considered as to be one of the [[Twelve Sacred Hills|twelve sacred hills ]] of the ancient [[Merina]] Kingdom.'''
Ilafy is the nearest hill to [[Antananarivo]] and was the capital of [[King Andrianjafy]], who was the maternal uncle of Nampoina. It was there that [[Jean Laborde]] made his first gun, shortly after his arrival, in association with another Frenchman, [[Droit]], who was already working there in about 1832 on behalf of [[Queen Ranavalona I]].
