About Mappa Mundi

Mappa Mundi was born from a simple yet powerful idea: what if we could access the rich history that surrounds us every day? Too often, remarkable places and stories fade into the background of our daily lives. We pass by old buildings, forgotten landmarks, or the sites of pivotal events without ever knowing their significance.

The name “Mappa Mundi” comes from the Latin phrase meaning “map of the world,” a nod to the great medieval maps that once attempted to capture the entirety of human knowledge and geography. In that spirit, our mission is to create a modern map that highlights and preserves the world’s historical heritage for future generations.

Mappa Mundi isn’t just about famous castles or well-known battlefields. It’s about uncovering the local stories, hidden sites, and everyday history that give our communities their character. By combining technology, community contributions, and historical research, we aim to make history more accessible, engaging, and relevant.

Whether you’re a traveler exploring a new city, a student researching the past, or simply curious about the world around you, Mappa Mundi helps you discover history in your path.
