Magic squares have been known in India from very early times. The renowned mathematician Ramanujan had immense contributions in the field of Magic Squares. A magic square is a square array of numbers where the rows, columns, diagonals and co-diagonals add up to the same number. The paper discuss about a well-known class of magic squares; the strongly magic square. The strongly magic square is a magic square with a stronger property that the sum of the entries of the sub-squares taken without any gaps between the rows or columns is also the magic constant. In this paper a generic definition for Strongly Magic Squares is given. The matrix properties of 4×4 strongly magic squares dot products and different properties of eigen values and eigen vectors are discussed in detail.
