Atika: Italy Guides
Beyond Rome, Florence, Venice
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Discover Italy through the buildings, churches, ruins, villas, castles, and landscapes its people decided were worth remembering.
Atika maps 66,478 heritage sites from ArCo and ICCD — the Italian Ministry of Culture's national catalogue — on one fast, offline-first map. Tap any pin to see what it is, when it was built, where it sits, and (for over a thousand sites) the historical-critical notes written by the heritage authorities themselves.
NEW: YOUR POCKET HISTORIAN
The map finds the site. Your Pocket Historian tells you why it matters. Every notable place opens a grounded story told across five lenses: Myth and Gods, History, Architecture, Everyday Life, and Why It Matters. The periods, gods and saints are woven through as tappable links into a browsable index. Grounded in real sources, never invented. Now in English and Italian.
